Hungary: Eger and Tokaj

Isabelle ends her Hungarian journey in the uplands of the north west of the country. Here she visits the home of Bull’s Blood and makes tracks for Hungary’s most famous wine region, Tokaj. This luscious nectar of a wine was a favourite with the Great and the Good of ages past. Louis XIV claimed it was the king of wines and the wine of kings, while Catherine the Great is said to have particularly treasured it for its reputation as a latter day Viagra! Isabelle learns how years of communism were tough on Tokaj’s wines but today the tipple is back with a vengeance.
