Blind tasting
Test your burgundy taste buds with this fun tasting !
The labels are hidden so you can taste the wines completely objectively.
7 wines will be served to you, all from Burgundy. But can you guess whether its a Chablis or a Beaujolais ? A Premier cru or a village Cru ? A great exercise to get to know the difference between the 5 regions of Burgundy !
The tasting will take place as follows (60€ per person):
*Historical overview of Maison Drouhin from 1880 to nowadays, (cellars' visit is not included)
