A WINE EXPERIENCE DEDICATED TO BURGUNDY GRANDS CRUS

From Monday to Friday, Sensation Vin proposes you a unique experience dedicated to what makes the reputation of Burgundy wines: its grands crus.
 
This class “Grand Cru Experience” concentrates on the 33 grand cru wines which exist in Burgundy, and in particular 6 of them.
 
Using maps and photographs projected on screen, you discover the environment of Grand Cru level.
