About this tour
Taste five classified Burgundy wines across two hours in Vosne-Romanée, exploring how Pinot Noir and Chardonnay reveal their character through distinctive terroirs. You'll sample three reds from Côte de Nuits and two whites from Côte de Beaune, moving between village landmarks to understand what separates grand cru expressions from their neighbours. A private session built around the subtle shifts in structure, aromatics and mouthfeel that make Burgundy's classification system work.
Highlights
- Five grand cru tastings: Côte de Nuits reds, Côte de Beaune whites
- Walk through Vosne-Romanée village and its classified vineyard sites
- Compare how terroir shapes Pinot Noir and Chardonnay expression
- Private tasting focused on finesse and complexity, not volume
- Two-hour arc from lighter to richer expressions
What to expect
You'll start in the village itself, getting oriented to the geography of the appellation before settling into the tasting. Five wines arrive in a logical sequence: whites first to cleanse the palate, then reds building in intensity. Each pour comes with context about its vineyard's aspect, soil composition and why it earned grand cru status. Expect to spend time with each glass—swirling, nosing, sipping—rather than rushing through. The guide will point out specific differences between the selections rather than delivering a standard speech.
Good to know
Wear comfortable shoes for village walking. Bring water and eat beforehand; grand crus demand focus on an empty stomach. Not suitable if pregnant. Private sessions mean you set the pace—ask about specific vineyards or winemaking techniques.
