Remember this:

Fin de Vendanges a Mas Coutelou, One Day Like This

and this:

Mis à jour – Castets II (Retour des Rugbymen) en français

or this:

Attention les Rugbymen!!

Well today it was time for the Rugbymans to return and bottle their wine. Fresh from celebrating the victory of Béziers in the local derby against Narbonne, they were eager to make their cuvée. Well maybe not so fresh after last night’s celebrations.

First Jeff had to open the large bottles and suction the wine.

The men quickly chose their roles and set to work. Jeff explained, they followed on.

 Of course the quality has to be checked.

 Corking the bottle by hand requires the strength of, well, a Rugbyman!

The bottles were to be sealed with wax, the way it used to be done and some cuvées still are at Mas Coutelou.

The bottles were labelled with their specially designed étiquette and the name chosen by the Rugbymans, Chut. The back label is the photo at the top.

Onto the second bottle!

As always the Rugbymans are great fun to be around, the jokes run as freely as the wine. So, Chut, a collector’s item. Definitely a bottle that belongs in the best of cellars.

Santé les Rugbymans!
