Cork Talk with François Lurton

What this episode covers

Part of an extensive, wine-focused family known in Bordeaux as “les Lurtons du vin”, François Lurton runs a successful global business that has estates in southern France, Spain, Chile and Argentina, places where he finds it “easier to breathe”. Our fascinating chat covered everything from cherry trees to different Malbec clones, flying winemaking to the Dakar rally, natural wines to the differences between Chile and Argentina. To read more about François have a look at the Domaines François Lurton website. You can also follow the bodega on Instagram at @francoislurton.
