One Day Burgundy School, Saturday 4th May 2019

Ease into our One-Day Burgundy Wine School with tea, coffee and biscuits before we launch into a tasting of 10 Burgundies, comparing the wines and discussing our impression of them. We will cover the quality hierarchy of Burgundy and the key characteristics that this region is famous for, including Grand Cru, Premier Cru and village wines as well as its most famous subregions.

 

This will be followed by a Burgundy-themed lunch, for which our Head Chef will design a three-course feast. Alongside the food we will taste five more wines, including Clos de Vougeot, Corton-Charlemagne, Pommard and Gevrey-Chambertin. At the end of the day you should have a clear picture of why Burgundy’s wines taste the way they do, which producers you enjoy and how to continue exploring this much-loved region.
