WINE TASTING EXPERIENCE : EXPLORE BURGUNDY  

Sensation Vin offers, with its “Wine Tasting Experience”, an in-depth discovery of Burgundy wines.

Deepen your knowledge of Burgundy wines

After having reviewed the essential knowledge about Burgundy wines, we look at the tasting methodology through tasting exercises. The first exercise is about flavours: you taste some water to dissociate acidity, bitterness, astringency…

Master flavors & aromas 

The second exercise is about aromas: 20 dark bottles to smell and find what is inside…thanks to your memory. As conclusion, these exercises will enable you to disassociate flavours and aromas, to discuss your sensations and to interpret them.

Compare 10 prestigious Burgundy wines

Then we move on to a blind tasting during which you will compare 10 wines produced in the Côte de Beaune, Côte Chalonnaise and the Côte de Nuits. You will taste 5 whites and 5 reds, village, 1er cru and grand cru appellations.
