From Chambertin to Montrachet

A one-day wine tour in Côte d'Or

A private wine tour through Côte de Nuits & Côte de Beaune 

Our wine tour “From Chambertin to Montrachet” will enable you to discover the two backbones of the vineyards in Burgundy: the Côte de Nuits and its great red wines and the Côte de Beaune and its incomparable white wines.
 
This wine tour has been designed exclusively for two people. Sitting comfortably in our Wrangler Jeep, we will drive you through the vineyard tracks. As we drive through the paths overlooking the vineyards, we will talk about oenology, observe the vegetative cycle in situ and vineyard work. Then we’ll talk about winemaking, maturation in oak barrels…about everything that gives the wines of Burgundy their reputation.
 
The morning (from 10 am to 1 pm) is dedicated to the Côte de Nuits where we taste 6 wines (3 1er cru wines and 3 grand cru wines) over 3 tasting stops at Corton, Vosne-Romanée, and Morey-Saint-Denis. According to your level of knowledge, we will initiate or hone your tasting techniques in order to appreciate fully the precious vineyards that surround us….
 
Returning to Beaune, you are free to make the most of your lunch break before setting off again to explore the Côte de Beaune (from 2.30 pm to 5.30 pm). You’ll notice an evolution in the landscape with the vineyards spreading out more widely and an emphasis on white wines. Our trip through the Côte de Beaune will be punctuated by 3 tasting stops in Pernand Vergelesses, in Meursault, and in Chassagne Montrachet. You will taste 6 white wines chosen amongst a selection of 1er and grand cru wines.
