Burgundy Lesser Known Gems and Jewels Tasting Flight Friday 28th June from 6.30pm
Anybody who has seen our shop knows we love Burgundy wines and any Burgundy lover will know of recent price increase and availability. So we thought it would be a good opportunity to show a few of the lesser known regions as well as some stellar top shelf examples.
We will be taking a journey from the beautiful vineyards in Vergisson onto a Rully which is like a baby Chassagne Montrachet and ending with a six year old Meaursault 1er Cru. For the reds we will look at a tiny vineyard just outside Vosne Romanée made by the legendary Domaine Lamarche and then onto Fixin which is north of Gevrey Chambertin just on the outskirts of Dijon. Lastly an eleven year old Chambolle Musigny from Taupernot-Merme which is just silk in a glass.
The wine tasting is untutored and informal allowing you to taste at your leisure. Full tasting notes on your table will give you background information and space to note any of your own observations. We will be joined by our good friend Nick Fisher AKA 'Burgundy Nick' who will be on hand with Andy and Amanda to chat or answer any questions.
