We visited Mas Cal Demoura in the Languedoc and they told us about Les Cinsónautes - a new organisation pledged to promote the long-dismissed variety Cinsault.
(I added their commitments to the poster due to character limits...)

A common problem here in the Languedoc - abandoned vineyards next to producing ones... With the recent incentives to pull out unwanted blocks, there's less of this, but there are still a lot of examples around...
Visit to Noilly Prat, vermouth producer in Marseillan. Fascinating history and process for making the beverage. Pictured here are barrels kept outside where some of the fortified (16%) wine is stored for a year, without topping. This is to simulate ship transport (part of this is that salt from the Mediterranean Sea makes its way to the barrels). In hot weather they are sprayed with water to keep the wood from drying out.
My oenologist wife, Kirsten, and I are hosting a two week school for Bordeaux Sciences Agro Bachelor in V&O students. Here we are introducing them to the wines and wine regions of the Languedoc!

Il Tempo: "Navi militari nel Mediterraneo". Iran, la sfida di Macron
Il presidente francese Emmanuel Macron ha annunciato che la portaerei Charles de Gaulle sarà dispiegata nel Mar Mediterraneo. La Francia "ha abbattuto i droni per legittima difesa, fin dalle prime ore del conflitto, per difendere lo spazio aereo dei nostri alleati", ha spiegato in un discorso televisivo. Macron ha poi annunciato lo spiegamento "nelle ultime ore" di caccia Rafale, di sistemi di difesa antiaerea e l'invio della fregata Languedoc. In seguito all'attacco contro una base britannica a Cipro, Emmanuel Macron ha annunciato l'invio di "ulteriori mezzi di difesa antiaerea" e della fregata "Languedoc" "che arriveranno al largo di Cipro", ha affermato il capo dello Stato. "Stiamo, inoltre, assicurando uno stretto coordinamento con i nostri alleati, i nostri partner europei, in primis i nostri amici greci, affinché questo sforzo nel Mediterraneo orientale venga consolidato dalle nazioni disponibili".
"Una coalizione per mettere in sicurezza il traffico marittimo in Medio Oriente'' dopo l'attacco israelo-americano contro l'Iran e la successiva rappresaglia iraniana contro i Paesi del Golfo. Lo ha annunciato il presidente francese Emmanuel Macron in un discorso alla nazione sul conflitto in Medio Oriente. "Stiamo per costruire una coalizione per riunire i mezzi, anche militari, per riprendere e mettere in sicurezza il traffico marittimo in Medio Oriente", ha annunciato Macron. Due "primi voli" per rimpatriare i cittadini francesi dal Medio Oriente arriveranno a Parigi. L'ha annunciato il presidente Emmanuel Macron in un discorso alla nazione, spiegando di aver dato disposizione per aumentare la sicurezza sul territorio nazionale. "Su mia richiesta, il governo ha rafforzato l'operazione di protezione militare Sentinelle e la vigilanza sui luoghi e sulle persone più esposti", ha aggiunto, riferendosi alle pattuglie di soldati sul territorio francese.
Poi Macron ha anche affrontato il tema dell'invasione israeliana in territorio libanese. Per il presidente francese un'operazione di terra israeliana in Libano rappresenterebbe "una pericolosa escalation e un errore strategico". "Hezbollah ha commesso il grave errore di attaccare Israele e di mettere in pericolo i libanesi", ha spiegato in un discorso televisivo.
Military ships in the Mediterranean. Iran, Macron’s challenge.
French President Emmanuel Macron has announced that the Charles de Gaulle aircraft carrier will be deployed in the Mediterranean Sea. The French “have downed drones in self-defense, from the earliest hours of the conflict, to defend the airspace of our allies,” he explained in a televised address. Macron then announced the deployment “in the last hours” of Rafale fighter jets, anti-air defense systems, and the dispatch of the Languedoc frigate. Following the attack on a British base in Cyprus, Emmanuel Macron announced the sending of “further anti-air defense assets” and the frigate “Languedoc” “which will arrive off the coast of Cyprus,” the head of state stated. “We are also ensuring close coordination with our allies, our European partners, foremost our Greek friends, so that this effort in the Eastern Mediterranean is consolidated by the available nations.”
“A coalition to ensure maritime traffic in the Middle East” following the Israeli-American attack against Iran and the subsequent Iranian retaliation against the Gulf countries. This was announced by French President Emmanuel Macron in a national address on the Middle East conflict. “We are about to build a coalition to mobilize assets, even military ones, to resume and ensure maritime traffic in the Middle East,” Macron announced. Two “first flights” to repatriate French citizens from the Middle East will arrive in Paris. This was announced by President Emmanuel Macron in a national address, explaining that he had ordered increased security on national territory. “At my request, the government has reinforced the Sentinel military protection operation and vigilance at the most exposed sites and people,” he added, referring to patrols of soldiers on French territory.
Macron then also addressed the issue of the Israeli invasion into Lebanese territory. For the French President, an Israeli ground operation in Lebanon would be “a dangerous escalation and a strategic error.” “Hezbollah committed the serious error of attacking Israel and endangering the Lebanese,” he explained in a televised address.
