Yves Saint Laurent’s love of Morocco has been well-documented. The designer first visited the country in the 60s, and in the 1970s, Yves Saint Laurent and and his then-partner Pierre Berge bought Villa Oasis. The duo renovated the grounds and the site later became a museum. The bright blue finish of the house and the wild plants in the Jardin Majorelle garden have enchanted visitors ever since.

Winemaker Peter Hall photographed at Breaky Bottom Vineyard outside Rodmell.
In the early 1970s, Peter Hall was a pig farmer based in the South Downs. When he decided to switch to agriculture, it may have been the influence of his Burgundian mother that encouraged him to try grapes rather than raspberries. Nearly fifty years later, his enterprise has been one of the pioneers and success stories of English Sparkling wine.
