•FROM CHAMBERTIN TO MONTRACHET• A WINE TOUR IN COTE DE NUITS AND COTE DE BEAUNE WITH A TASTING OF 20 GRAND CRU AND PREMIER CRU FROM BURGUNDY 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. With Céline or Damien, sitting comfortably in their Wrangler Jeep, you will drive 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.
