Author, master of wine and owner of three châteaux with her husband Jacques Thienpont, Fiona Morrison is a wonderfully dynamic presence on the Bordeaux wine scene. Listen to us talk about her book, Ten Great Wine Families, what it’s like running Le Pin, one of the most famous wine estates in the world, the intricacies of the Napoleonic Code and how her sense of humour helps her stay honest to herself.
