On a Sunday morning in late spring, you open the French doors off the ground-floor bedroom and the smell of cut grass and warm stone drifts in from the south-facing terrace. Somewhere down the lane, a rooster is doing his thing. The kitchen is already flooding with light—it faces south too—and you're standing there with a coffee, looking out at the enclosed garden, thinking this might be the most at ease you've felt in years. That's the rhythm this place puts you in. This authentic 19th-century Touraine farmhouse sits just outside the village of La Croix en Touraine in the commune of Bléré, right in the heart of the Indre-et-Loire department. It's the kind of address that means nothing until you visit and then means everything. The Loire Valley isn't a backdrop here—it's your actual life on weekends and summers. The house itself is honest and well-kept. Roughly 149 square metres spread across the main building, with a layout that's been thoughtfully configured for real living rather than a developer's floor-plan fantasy. Step through the entrance hall and you're immediately in the thick of it: a large fitted kitchen that flows straight out to the terrace, a cathedral-ceilinged living and dining room of around 40 square metres with original exposed beams, stone walls, parquet floors, and a wood-burning stove that pulls its weight every autumn weekend. The proportions feel generous without being cavernous. In winter, that stove throws enough heat to make the whole ground floor feel like you pulled the house around you like a blanket. The ground floor also includes a bedroom with its own French doors—convenient for guests or for those mornings when you want to slip outside before anyone else is awake—plus an office, a ba ... click here to read more

On a quiet Sunday morning in La Roche-Guyon, you open the east-facing garden doors and the silhouette of the medieval keep fills the frame. Coffee in hand, the Seine winds silver in the middle distance, and the only sound is the crunch of gravel as a cyclist rolls past on the riverside path below. That view — that exact view — comes with this house. La Roche-Guyon is one of those places that Parisians whisper about and then keep to themselves. Classified among Les Plus Beaux Villages de France, this compact riverside village sits where the Seine makes a wide, dramatic loop through chalk cliffs at the northern edge of the Vexin Normand natural park. It's only 70 kilometres from central Paris — less than an hour on a clear drive up the A13 and D913 — yet it feels like a different century. The Tour de France has passed through its single main street. Monet came here to paint. The Rochefoucauld family built their cliff-face château directly into the limestone bluff above town, and on summer evenings the floodlit castle walls turn the colour of warm honey. This 135-square-metre house sits right in the village centre, on 457 square metres of land, and it comes with something you simply cannot manufacture: three genuine troglodyte caves carved into the chalk cliff at the rear of the property. One functions as a proper wine cellar, cool and naturally humidity-controlled year-round — the chalk walls maintain a near-constant temperature that any serious wine collector will appreciate immediately. A second has been set up as a private party space, large enough for a long table and a crowd of friends on a summer evening. The third doubles as a garage, big enough for a car and everything else a second home accumulates over the year ... click here to read more

Stand on the terrace on a July morning and the air already carries the warmth of the day ahead—cut grass, wild thyme, and the faint sweetness from the sunflowers that blanket the fields around Saint-Martin-de-Gurson. The only sound is birdsong and the distant clang of a tractor somewhere beyond the tree line. This is the Dordogne that people read about in novels and then spend decades trying to find. This five-bedroom house sits on 2.3 hectares of French countryside in the Périgord, one of the most quietly coveted corners of southwest France. At 188 square metres, there is real room here—space to have the whole family over in August, space for teenagers to disappear into their own corners, space to breathe after years of city life. The condition is good and the house is ready to live in, which matters more than people realise when they're buying in a foreign country. No lengthy renovation drama, no months of waiting. You could be spending your first summer evening on the terrace within weeks of completion. Inside, the living room is the kind of space that earns its keep in every season. In the height of summer the French doors pull light in from all angles. Come November, the wood-burning stove becomes the centre of gravity—a proper cast-iron one that heats the room fast and makes the whole house smell like a mountain chalet. The open kitchen flows directly off the living area, with a proper pantry (cellier) that any serious cook will appreciate immediately. Storing olive oil from the Dordogne market, wine from a Bergerac cave, charcuterie from the Saturday market at Montpon-Ménéstrol—there's space for all of it. Five bedrooms gives you options that most French country houses simply don't. Guest rooms, a home office, ... click here to read more

Sunday morning in the Dordogne has a particular quality to it. The air smells of cut grass and something faintly herbal — wild thyme, maybe, drifting up from the countryside that rolls away beyond your pool terrace. You open the patio doors from the kitchen and the sound follows: a distant church bell from the village, the soft knock of a shutter, absolute quiet between each ring. This is what you actually bought. This three-bedroom, single-level home sits just outside Issigeac — one of the most genuinely pretty bastide villages in the Périgord Pourpre — and it does something rare for a property at this price point: it's ready. No projects. No compromise on the important things. You walk in, unpack, and start living. The open-plan living, dining, and kitchen space is the kind of room that earns that overused word "heart of the home" — except here it's actually true. Large double-glazed windows pull the garden into the room visually, and two sets of patio doors open fully onto a covered terrace so that indoor and outdoor living collapse into one uninterrupted space across the warmer months. A wood-burning stove anchors the room for the other side of the year, when Dordogne evenings turn cool and there's nowhere you'd rather be than here with a glass of Bergerac rouge and something slow-cooking on the stove. The kitchen and dining area share the same easy flow, so cooking doesn't isolate whoever's at the hob from the rest of the table — a detail that matters enormously when you're hosting friends for ten days in August. The sleeping wing sits at the opposite end of the house, a sensible arrangement that gives kids or guests real separation from the living spaces. Three proper bedrooms, a shower room, and a separate WC. ... click here to read more

Sunday morning in Saint-Aubin-lès-Elbeuf starts with a smell you can't manufacture: woodsmoke drifting from the fireplace insert downstairs, coffee brewing in the fitted kitchen, and the faint sound of the Seine moving somewhere beyond the garden wall. It's the kind of slow-morning feeling that people spend years chasing and rarely find this close to a motorway junction. This is a five-bedroom Norman manor house in good condition, spread across 235 square metres, sitting in fully enclosed landscaped grounds with a south-facing terrace, a jacuzzi, two garages, an outbuilding, a workshop, and a paved parking area complete with an electric vehicle charging point. On paper, it sounds like a checklist. In person, it reads like a life upgrade. Let's talk about the house itself first. The ground floor opens with a generous entrance hall — proper proportions, not the awkward squeeze you find in newer builds — with a large closet and a separate WC. The kitchen runs to about 25 square metres, fully fitted and equipped, with enough room to cook for a family gathering without anyone getting in anyone else's way. A utility room with a sink connects directly to the garden, which makes returning from a muddy riverbank walk entirely civilised. The living room has a fireplace insert; the adjacent sitting room has its own fireplace. Two rooms with fires. That is not a small thing in a Norman winter. Up on the first floor, three well-sized bedrooms include a master suite with a dressing room and sink — a practical luxury that transforms the morning routine. There's a large bathroom, a laundry room, another dressing room, and a separate WC. The layout gives a family room to spread out without living on top of each other.

Sunday morning in Guingamp, and the bells of the Basilique Notre-Dame-de-Bon-Secours roll across the rooftops just as the light finds its way through the tall original windows, casting long rectangles of gold across a century-old parquet floor. That's the moment you understand what this house is. Not just five bedrooms and a walled garden — a living piece of Breton history, waiting for someone with vision and appetite to bring it fully back to life. This architect-designed Belle Époque mansion sits in the heart of Guingamp, a town that punches well above its weight in character. The house was built when architects designed for eternity — high ceilings that make you stand a little straighter, plaster moldings of the kind you simply cannot replicate today, and original parquet floors that creak pleasingly underfoot, the sound of a house that has held generations of stories. The proportions throughout the ground floor are generous without feeling cold. A majestic entrance hall sets the tone immediately. From there, the kitchen, a welcoming dining room, a refined sitting room, and a summer room that opens directly onto the garden follow in sequence, each space distinct but connected by that same through-light that runs the length of the house. A guest WC completes the ground floor with quiet practicality. Upstairs, five proper bedrooms — including a suite — share two bathrooms, and a converted attic has been given over to a library. Spend a rainy Breton afternoon up there with a novel and a glass of Muscadet and you'll understand the appeal immediately. Outside, the walled and wooded garden is an almost absurd bonus for a town-centre address. Enclosed, private, green — it's the kind of outdoor space that city buyers specif ... click here to read more

On a still morning in this quiet Limousin hamlet, the only sounds are birdsong and the occasional creak of the old barn doors swinging open in the breeze. You pour your first coffee and carry it through the glazed door into the garden, past the fruit trees coming into blossom, and sit beside the ancient stone bread oven your architect friend keeps saying you should convert. That's the rhythm of life in Dournazac — slow, deliberate, and quietly extraordinary. This renovated three-bedroom stone house sits in one of the most underrated corners of southwest France, a region where property prices still reflect genuine value and the countryside hasn't been polished into a tourist postcard. The Haute-Vienne département rewards those who seek it out: rolling wooded hills, medieval châteaux, winding rivers, and a food culture that puts Sunday markets at the absolute center of social life. The Saturday market in Châlus — just three kilometres down the road — is where you'll find the region's famous clementines in winter, truffles if you know which stall to hover around, and a very decent andouillette that the locals will insist you try. Nearby Nexon holds one of the finest horse fairs in France each spring. Oradour-sur-Glane, a preserved WWII memorial village, is a sobering and important half-day trip that draws visitors from across Europe. The house itself carries the architectural honesty that Limousin stone buildings do so well. No decorative veneer, no awkward additions — just solid granite walls, exposed ceiling beams, and a staircase hand-built in oak that feels almost too good to rush up. The craftsmanship throughout the renovation was taken seriously. You notice it in the custom kitchen, which stops visitors in their tra ... click here to read more

On a warm Tuesday morning in Jonzac, you open the terrace doors off the sitting room and the air smells faintly of mineral water and cut grass. Below you, the garden runs downhill in long, generous sweeps — through a canopy of trees, past a woodland patch that filters the light into something almost theatrical — until it reaches the quiet banks of the River Seugne. A heron stands perfectly still at the water's edge. You can hear the church bells from the old town center, just five minutes away on foot. That's the daily reality of owning this five-bedroom geothermically heated house in the heart of one of Charente-Maritime's most quietly compelling spa towns. The property sits less than 500 meters from Jonzac's center, which puts you close to everything without sacrificing the sense of space that defines life here. The upper floor holds three well-proportioned bedrooms, a bathroom with a separate WC, and a triple-aspect living and dining room that catches light from three directions. That room connects directly to the south-facing terrace — the kind of terrace you end up living on from April through October, drinking Pineau des Charentes in the early evenings while the swallows dart over the garden. The kitchen is bright and practical, also opening onto the terrace, so cooking here in summer means constant movement between inside and out. What makes this house genuinely unusual is the lower floor. Two independent guest accommodations sit completely self-contained on that level, each with private access. For a family wanting multi-generational space — grandparents, adult children, close friends who visit for weeks at a time — this layout is hard to find at this price point in France. For a buyer thinking about income gen ... click here to read more

Sunday morning in Savigné, and the kitchen window is open. The smell of coffee mixes with cut grass drifting in from the meadow out back. Nobody's in a hurry. That's kind of the whole point. This former farmhouse in the Vienne département of Poitou-Charentes has been fully renovated and is move-in ready — no months of waiting on contractors, no difficult decisions about plumbing layouts. Someone has already done the hard work. What you walk into is 130 square metres of comfortable, liveable space that still carries the bones and character of a proper French country property: thick stone walls, outbuildings with real agricultural history, a bread oven that looks like it belongs on a postcard, a barn with a stable, and a former henhouse that has quietly been waiting for someone with imagination to figure out what it wants to be next. The ground floor is practical without being cramped. The kitchen is fully equipped and opens directly into the dining and living area, which means the cook never gets exiled to a separate room while everyone else talks. There's a bedroom on this level too, with its own dressing room — useful if you have guests who'd rather not tackle stairs, or if you want to turn the upper floor into a private retreat entirely your own. A shower room, WC, and a boiler room round out the ground floor. Upstairs, a landing connects three further bedrooms and a second shower room with WC. Four bedrooms in total is a generous count for a French country house in this price range — enough for a family and a couple of friends, or enough to make short-term rental a genuine option during the weeks you're not here. Then there's the land. The enclosed garden is the kind of space where afternoon becomes evening withou ... click here to read more

Picture this: it's a Saturday morning in late June, and you're already swimming laps in a 9-by-4.5-metre heated pool before the rest of the hamlet has stirred. The Dordogne air is cool but warming fast, the swallows are cutting arcs over the meadow, and through the covered summer kitchen you can smell coffee brewing. This isn't a fantasy borrowed from a magazine. It's Tuesday, actually—because when you own a place like this, every day feels like a day you chose. The house sits in the tiny hamlet of Creyssensac-et-Pissot, tucked into the rolling green hills of the Périgord Vert, a corner of France that still operates largely on its own timetable. Built in 2012 on a generous 3,725 m² plot, the single-storey villa carries none of the renovation burden that comes with older Dordogne stone farmhouses—no crumbling walls, no damp to chase, no ten-year project looming over your holidays. It earned a B energy rating thanks to full double glazing and underfloor heating throughout, which means winter visits are genuinely comfortable, and your energy bills won't make you wince. Inside, the open-plan living space does what good architecture should: it gets out of your way. The lounge, dining area, and fitted kitchen flow together naturally, lit by wide windows that pull the countryside views directly into the room. The log burner in the corner is less of a necessity—the underfloor heating handles that—and more of an occasion. Light it on a wet November evening with a bottle of Bergerac rouge and a board game on the table, and you'll understand why people keep coming back to the Dordogne season after season. Three well-proportioned bedrooms branch off a central corridor, alongside a family bathroom with both bath and shower, plus a ... click here to read more

On a Sunday morning in Saint-Séverin, the only thing that stirs you is the smell of bread drifting up from the boulangerie two streets over and the faint clinking of bottles as the weekly market sets up on the square. You pad out through the conservatory doors in bare feet, coffee in hand, and stand at the edge of 7,000 square metres of your own French countryside. That's not a fantasy — that's Tuesday here, too. This is a proper Charente stone house. Not a ruin dressed up for photos. Not a weekend project. Solidly renovated, genuinely liveable, and built the way they built things in this part of southwest France — thick walls that stay cool through August, exposed beams that have held up for generations, and a fireplace in the sitting room that earns its keep from October through March. The stone has colour in certain light, going from pale grey to warm amber depending on the hour. You'll notice that. You'll stop noticing other things you used to care about. The main house runs to three bedrooms and flows the way a French farmhouse should — not rigidly, not in a straight line, but through rooms that connect to each other and back out to the garden at multiple points. The ground floor living and dining space anchors everything, anchored itself by that stone fireplace with its inset wood burner. From there you move into the kitchen, which is properly fitted rather than decorative, or into the conservatory, which catches afternoon light and works equally well as a reading room or an extra dining space when the table inside fills up. The main sitting room has its own wood burner too — this house takes winter seriously — and connects through to a study or music room depending on what you need it to be. The master suite oc ... click here to read more

Pull up the private drive on a June morning and the first thing you notice is the silence. Not the absence of sound exactly, but the particular kind of quiet that only comes with 2.2 hectares of your own woodland and gardens wrapped around a grand stone house in the Vienne countryside. Then the birds start up. Then, faintly, the church bell in La Trimouille village counts out nine o'clock. And you realize this is going to be a completely different kind of morning. This is a rare piece of rural France — a three-floor principal residence of 293 square metres plus a fully independent gatekeeper's cottage, tucked down its own private lane just a short walk from the centre of La Trimouille in the Poitou-Charentes region. At €315,650, you're looking at a property that would comfortably command double this price in Dordogne or Provence. The Vienne département still operates on its own timetable, which is one of the many reasons people who discover it tend to stay. The main house has a generous, unhurried quality. Wide wooden floors run throughout all three levels — the kind that creak pleasantly and catch afternoon light differently depending on the season. On the ground floor, the living room opens through double doors onto a south-facing terrace overlooking rolling countryside. You'll eat breakfast out there far later into autumn than you'd expect; this part of France averages close to 2,000 hours of sunshine per year. The ground floor also holds a dining room, a well-proportioned kitchen, two offices (useful for remote working or, frankly, finally writing that novel), a bedroom, a shower room, and a separate toilet. Head upstairs and four more bedrooms spread out across the first floor, served by a full bathroom. Above tha ... click here to read more

Step outside on a Tuesday morning and the only sounds competing for your attention are the stream at the edge of the hamlet and a woodpecker working its way up an oak somewhere in the tree line beyond the balcony. No traffic. No neighbor's television bleeding through a shared wall. Just the Périgord Limousin Regional Natural Park doing what it does — quietly making the rest of the world feel very far away. Abjat-sur-Bandiat sits in the northern reaches of the Dordogne, right where the department bumps against Haute-Vienne. It's the kind of village that doesn't try to impress you. There's no tourist office handing out maps, no souvenir shop selling fridge magnets. What there is: a genuine rural France that moves at its own pace, stone lanes that wind past ancient farmsteads, and a landscape of rolling woodland and meadow that turns copper and amber every October like someone slowly turning up a dimmer switch. This former barn — fully converted and completed not so long ago — sits at the tail end of a hamlet, with countryside pressing in on three sides. The conversion was done with real care for proportion. Ground floor living spaces feel open without feeling cavernous: a proper entrance hall with enough room to actually use it, a sitting room where exposed timber beams overhead anchor the space without making it heavy, and a kitchen that opens onto a dining area rather than being squeezed into a corner. The underfloor heating throughout the ground floor is the kind of detail you only truly appreciate on a raw February morning when the mist is sitting on the fields and you're padding around in socks on warm stone. The original character of the barn hasn't been scrubbed away. An oeil de boeuf window — that small circula ... click here to read more

On a clear morning in the Périgord Noir, you open the shutters and the Vézère valley just sits there below you — mist still clinging to the tree line, the stone walls of the house still cool under your fingertips. There's a smell of woodsmoke somewhere down the hillside. This is Le Bugue on a Tuesday in October, and it's enough to make you wonder why you ever left. This five-bedroom stone house sits elevated above the valley floor, its 3,400 square metres of grounds giving it a quiet authority over the surrounding landscape. From the terrace beside the swimming pool, you look out over one of the most quietly celebrated river valleys in France — the Vézère, which threads its way through prehistoric caves, market towns, and walnut orchards before joining the Dordogne near Limeuil, a village so absurdly picturesque it barely seems real. And yet here you are, looking at it. The house itself is solidly Périgordine in character. The exposed stonework isn't decorative — it's structural, original, the same golden limestone that built the churches and manor houses of this region over several centuries. The stone spiral staircase connecting the two floors is the kind of thing you'd find photographed in a heritage architecture journal. The fireplace in the 39-square-metre living room anchors everything: in January, when the Dordogne countryside pulls on a coat of frost, you'll be grateful for it. Electric underfloor heating runs throughout, so comfort is never a negotiation between atmosphere and practicality. The layout works well for a family or a group of friends. Two bedrooms sit on the ground floor — useful for anyone who prefers not to deal with stairs, or for hosting guests who value a little separation. Upstairs, three m ... click here to read more

Sunday morning in Chancelade sounds like this: a distant church bell from the 12th-century abbey down the road, the creak of old oak floorboards under your feet, and the smell of coffee drifting through a kitchen that has fed generations of the same family. Step outside and the light hits the raised stone terraces in that particular golden way the Dordogne does so well — not filtered or softened, just honest and warm. This is what you're actually buying. Set just five minutes from the centre of Périgueux on a plot of just under an acre, this six-bedroom stone property represents something increasingly rare in the Dordogne: genuine substance. The main residence runs across three levels and holds onto its original bones with real conviction — wide-plank floors worn smooth over decades, a sequence of open fireplaces, and a covered terrace finished in pizé du Périgord, that traditional rammed-earth technique you almost never see intact anymore. It's a material that ties the house directly to the region's building history in a way no renovation could replicate. The layout divides naturally into two distinct living zones, which opens up serious flexibility for how you use the place. The main house offers four bedrooms spread across its three levels, with the kind of generous room proportions that older French country homes do so well — proper ceiling heights, deep window reveals, spaces that feel considered rather than carved up. Then, separate from the main residence, the guest accommodation provides two en suite double bedrooms with their own living area, all overlooking the grounds. It functions entirely independently, which matters enormously whether you're hosting friends for a fortnight in August or considering the pro ... click here to read more

On a quiet Tuesday morning in Lorigné, the only sounds you'll catch from the south-facing terrace are birdsong, the faint clatter of a tractor somewhere beyond the stone walls, and the soft hiss of water in the covered pool below. No traffic. No neighbors peering over the fence. Just 1,377 square meters of enclosed garden, a house that's been here long enough to have earned its thick walls and terracotta floors, and the particular French countryside silence that people drive hundreds of kilometers to find. This four-bedroom stone house sits in a small hamlet between Chef-Boutonne and Sauzé-Vaussais in the Deux-Sèvres département — the quieter, less-hyped cousin of the Charente to the south. It's the kind of place that doesn't show up on the tourist trail, which is precisely why people who've discovered it keep coming back. Roughly 150 square meters of living space spread across two levels, a walled garden that feels genuinely private, a heated 8x4 meter covered pool, and a brand-new air-to-water heat pump installed in 2026. Move-in ready isn't a stretch here — this is a house that's been looked after. Step through the front door and the ground floor sets the tone immediately. The kitchen and dining room spans 37 square meters, with original terracotta tiles underfoot and a pellet stove insert in the fireplace that takes the edge off cool autumn evenings. This is the room where the house lives — where long Sunday lunches with a local Pineau des Charentes stretch into afternoon, where garlic and thyme from the garden end up in whatever's on the stove. The proportions feel right. Not cavernous, not cramped. The living room next door is a different proposition entirely: 45 square meters, its own wood-burning stove in a se ... click here to read more

On Sunday mornings, the bells from the village church carry clean and clear through the upstairs windows — and from the second floor of this 215-square-metre manor house, you can actually see the steeple they ring from. That's not a detail you find in every property. It's the kind of thing that makes you stop mid-coffee and remember why you came to Normandy in the first place. Saint-Aubin-lès-Elbeuf sits on the south bank of the Seine, a few kilometres from Elbeuf and just 20 minutes by train from Rouen's cathedral city centre. It's a proper Norman town — bakeries that still close on Mondays, a weekly market where the cheese vendor knows regulars by name, and streets lined with the kind of stone-and-brick architecture that takes a century or two to earn its look. This manor house sits on one of those streets, on a one-way road that keeps through-traffic away, behind a large gate that shuts the outside world out entirely. The plot runs to 1,150 square metres, fully enclosed by walls — not a hedge, not a fence, actual walls — and the south-facing orientation means the terrace catches the sun from mid-morning until the light goes golden in the early evening. There's a carport, two outbuildings (one fitted with a rainwater tank for garden irrigation, which in Normandy is less of a luxury than you'd think), and mature trees that give the garden a settled, unhurried feeling. The terrace already has a sun lounger and outdoor table set up. On a warm July afternoon, with a glass of Calvados or a cold Leffe from the fridge, this corner of the garden could easily become your most-used room in the house. Inside, the ground floor is well-configured for daily life. The fitted kitchen connects to a dining room — a layout that actual ... click here to read more

This is life at your seven-bedroom estate in La Chapelle-aux-Saints, where 415 square meters of living space and a massive stone barn await your vision in one of France's most authentic rural retreats. Your 6,000-square-meter parkland becomes a private sanctuary, complete with a heated saltwater pool and productive orchard that yields apples, pears, and plums each autumn.

Stand in the kitchen of this 270-square-metre stone water mill on a Tuesday morning in late September and you'll hear the channel running beneath the house before you see it. The sound is constant — not loud, just present — like the building itself is quietly breathing. Light comes through the south-facing windows in long pale strips. The stone walls hold the cool of the night well into afternoon. This is Nonards, deep in the Corrèze, and once you've spent a week here, most other places feel faintly over-stimulated. The Corrèze doesn't get the same traffic as Dordogne or the Lot. That's precisely the point. The département sits in the northern reaches of the Nouvelle-Aquitaine, spilling into the high plateau country of the Massif Central, and the landscape here has a particular quality — wide river valleys, dense oak and chestnut forests, medieval villages perched above the Dordogne gorges that barely appear on the tourist maps. Nonards itself is a commune of a few hundred people, surrounded by working farmland and nature reserves. The nearest town of any size is Beaulieu-sur-Dordogne, about twelve minutes by car — a genuine market town with a Saturday morning market that runs along the riverfront and draws producers from across the region. You can be back at the mill with fresh walnuts, a wheel of Cantal, and a bunch of dried lavender before 10am. The mill sits on approximately one hectare of land, enclosed and private, with no neighbouring properties overlooking the plot. A stone-lined water channel — the original mill race — runs directly beneath the building and emerges through the garden in a wide, slow-moving stream shaded by mature trees. In summer, children wade in it. In autumn, it runs amber with tannins from ... click here to read more
