,
Join us as we discover the wonderful array of villages to be found in the prestigious Cote d'Or in Burgundy. Famed as the area where the greatest Pinot Noir and Chardonnay comes from will we investigate the myriad of styles to be found across all the famed villages including Gevrey-Chambertin, Vosne-Romanee, Santenay, Marsannay, Beaune, Volnay and so on.
In addition we will taste a Premier Cru and Grand Cru examples that are some of the greatest vineyard sites to be found across the region. This tasting really goes to town on Pinot Noir and Chardonnay from a variety of vintages – get involved for a fantastic tasting...
