What a fabulous day we had on the Bourgogne Gold wine tour. This was the highlight of our visit to the Burgundy region, and we would heartily recommend it.
First, we are wine enthusiasts, not experts but Youri, our guide and owner of the business, explained the intricacies of wine classifications, and terminologies such as domaine, climat, terroir, etc., in a clearly expressed and entertaining way - all against the backdrop of the famous grand cru vineyards of the Côte d’Or.
From there, we went on to a series of three private tastings with a break for lunch. (Note that the team selects an appropriate lunch venue and manages all arrangements, including booking your table and transporting you to and from the restaurant. For us, they chose the superb Hotel Le Montrachet in Puligny Montrachet. The cost of lunch is not included in the package.)
This is a VIP experience. You are transported in a luxury vehicle by a knowledgeable guide. This business has extensive contacts with the region’s producers and can organise quite exceptional, and unique tastings.
Additionally, we appreciated Fabien’s responsiveness to our email inquiries during the planning process.
Thank you Youri. We certainly will be back for more!
