How the Clooneys seduced their new French neighbours... thanks to Amal's fluent French, a penchant for local salmon sandwiches - oh, and George's homegrown rosé!


Hailed as 'the most beautiful village in France', there is certainly much to recommend Cotignac. Historic and picturesque, its narrow streets shelter in the shade of a huge limestone cliff.

A medieval boom town, during this period there were visions of Mary, Joseph and the baby Jesus, a hat-trick which made it a major place of pilgrimage — and pilgrims still come today. Celebs from Sarah Jessica Parker to Sam Neill lend their names to wine, but Clooney's involvement has a crucial difference in that he actually owns the land on which the grapes are grown. The family is also sometimes spotted in New York — Amal is a visiting professor of law at Columbia University and they have a $18 million mid-town apartment there, near George's old friend Rande Gerber, and his wife Cindy Crawford.
