Passion and terroir

titre

Discover Burgundy off the beaten tourist tracks by meeting men and women passionate about their terroir. Encounters for privileged visitors full of information and exchanges which will make you want to come back again and again…

Day 1

Nestled in the heart of a little Burgundian village in the Côte de Nuits, the farm welcomes you on the “Route du Cassis”, the cassis road. For generations the extraordinary little blackcurrant berry has been in the centre of the family tradition. The owners will tell you its story and present you their surprising and inventive artisanal products. Enjoy a glass and flatter your palate with the whole range of cassis aromas.

It’s already time for lunch !

Continue your journey on these small and charming backroads and stop off in a farmer stable converted into a country restaurant to delight in Burgundy’s rich cuisine and the owner’s god humour. A true moment of pleasure !

Early afternoon

It is time to reach your four-star guesthouse and make yourselves at home. This tastefully refurbished mansion is a haven of peace and quiet in a very old village in the Côte de Nuits. The owner will greet you with a warm welcome and surprise you with various talents.

It is in her company that you will go on a wine stroll followed by a wine workshop. As a graduate of the “Institut de la Vigne et du Vin” she will take you to the terroirs around one of the most famous sites of Burgundy, the Clos de Vougeot, whose history is closely linked to vineyards and wine. She will explain all you need and want to know about the diversity of the winegrowing terroirs, their history, viticulture and vinification, the soils and subsoils.

Following this practical introduction she will be happy to invite you to her home for a wine workshop during wich you will be abble to express your sensations and learn all about the art of tasting.

Dinner at your leisure.

Overnight in a four-star guesthouse

The encounters continue.

For lunch, enjoy a “mâchon bourguignon”, a burgundian snack, along with a commented tasting in one of the cellars in the town centre. Take your time to share the emotions the wines bring up in you with your sommelier.
