Description
Earthy Elegance with a Touch of Mineral Magic
Friday, May 10th 6-8pm.
Hosted by special guest Freddy Foot (Formerly Sommelier at Gary Danko and the opening Wine Director for the now 2 Michelin Starred Birdsong).
Dirt is particularly and literally important on Burgundy's most hallowed patch of vines, the 20-mile strip of vineyards which slide south-east down a ridge of gentle, almost imperceptible hills to the Route Nationale 74 (RN74) and are known casually as the Côte d'Or, the slope of gold. There have been vineyards here for at least as long as the monastic tradition that dominates it architecturally and they have been producing exceptionally fine wine for centuries. Over those centuries the special character of each vineyard has emerged.
We'll taste 5 different Premier Crus, both red and white, from 5 of these hallowed sites.
