The Council of Europe stands with the Ukrainian People. Building peace, democratic security, stability and prosperity in #Europe. That’s what we do. Ukrainians can count on #Strasbourg Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зеленський Council of Europe

Missing Bordeaux so much! Despite challenges - economic and climactic - I am sure it will be a fascinating week. Best wishes for the 2024 vintage barrel tastings.

Creosote, tobacco, fruit, tea leaf, meadow after rainfall, floral: 35-year young wine, tannic balance, acidity lends brightness to ripe vintage fruit. A pleasure to drink! 2/3 Cabernets (Sauvignon and Franc) and Merlot. Médoc in Saint Émilion? No! The inimitable Chateau-Figeac.

Great idea! 💡 A treaty to tackle #disinformation
