Burgundy is famous for producing the greatest Pinot Noir and Chardonnay in the world. Many wine lovers claim that Burgundy wines are the greatest red wines in the world, while others insist that Bordeaux wines hold that claim. Nothing quite compares in aroma and flavor to a great red Burgundy.

In this Burgundy and Champagne Wine Seminar, we will feature 3 Burgundy Premier Cru as well as 2 Champagnes Grand Cru ( Only 17 Grands Crus in Champagne : The very best grapes available on the market! )

As it is also the organizer’s birthday, we will make it special. 

Three of our wines are available at Michelin-Stared Restaurants!
