FROM CORTON TO MONTRACHET : A PRIVATE WHITE WINE JOURNEY

The itinerant private tasting “From Corton to Montrachet” throws you into the universe of the great Burgundy white wines for 3 hours.

Explore Grand Cru white wine terroir

It is designed and organised exclusively for two people, and enables you to discover the Côte de Beaune, driving comfortably through the vineyard tracks in our Wrangler jeep. The idea is to drive up high to make the most of the beautiful views over the vineyards. It’s the moment to talk about oenology, to understand the hierarchy of the appellations in situ, the vegetative cycle and the seasonal work in the vineyards.

Taste 6 Premier & Grands Crus Burgundy white wines

Between Corton and Montrachet, you will taste 6 white wines, 1er cru wines and grand cru wines, over 3 tasting stops. Facing the vines of Pernand Vergelesses, in the heart of the Clos des Mouches in Beaune, in Monthélie, in Meursault then in Puligny Montrachet, we will learn about tasting methods and the flavours and aromas of Burgundy wines in order to fully appreciate the complexity of the 1er and grand cru wines that have been selected. Taste a Corton Charlemagne Grand Cru facing the vineyard from which it comes will, without doubt, leave you with an unforgettable memory!
