Sought After Burgundy 1ers Crus, Tutored Tast, Thur 12 November 2015

Only a handful of Burgundy’s vineyards were granted the coveted ‘Grand Cru’ classification when the hierarchy was formalised in the 1930s. Yet there are many vineyards at Premier Cru level which, it might be argued, are worthy of the status or are certainly very close. Anne McHale MW has selected her favourites for you this evening in a special line-up which includes such star terroirs as Meursault’s Perrières, Vougeot’s Clos Blanc, Vosne’s Les Suchots and of course Gevrey’s Clos St Jacques. Join her in the Pickering Cellar to learn about and enjoy tasting these unique wines.
