 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. 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: the wines are all in the 4,000Y- 12,000Y retail prices.

Menu and Wine selection:

Aperitif: Champagne Grand Cru Blanc de Blanc Robert Moncuit
Light gold. Deep, complex nose combining pastries, dried fruit and a slightly toasted mineral note. Full, fresh, long-lasting mouthfeel. Refined structure, forward aromas. A top-notch wine suitable for any occasion.
> Ranking Gilbert & Gaillard: 92/100

Amuse: Saint Jacques Fume et remoulade de celeri-rave aux agrumes
Smoked Scallops and celery root remoulade with citrus fruits
Wine: Chablis Premier Cru Mont de Milieu 2016 Chardonnay
White blossom and yellow fruits aromas (peach, apricot, candied lemon) with some mineral notes. Ample and round attack with a fleshy fruit. Rich texture with a precise and tangy freshness. Elegant and full-bodied palate. Mineral finish with some candied lemon notes and a grilled/toasted hint.
> Ranking Bettane & Desseauve: 16/20

Starter: Escargots fris, style Bourgogne avec Salade Organique
Fried Escargots Burgundy style with Organic Salad
Wine: Rully Premier Cru Blanc mollesme 2016 Chardonnay
This is aged entirely in barrel with about 25% new oak. It shows some oak spice in youth but underneath there is a real weight of fruit and the finish is long and inviting. Sophisticated and stylish.
> Ranking Jancis Robinson: 15.5 /20

Main: Joue de Bœuf dans du vin rouge avec Purée de Carottes
Beef cheek in red wine sauce, Burgundy style with mash carrots
Wine: Nuits Saint Georges Premier Cru Les Pruniers 2012 Pinot Noir
Intense colour, very well balanced, full-fruit and with a firm tannic structure. Long on the finish, it shows nuances of bitter cherries and toasted oak in the aroma and aftertaste.
> Ranking Jancis Robinson: 17/20

Dessert: Mont-blanc aux fraises
Mont-blanc with Strawberry
Wine: Champagne Rose Grand Cru Forget Beaumont
Luminous pink colour with light salmon nuances. Fine persistent bubbles. The nose initially presents citrus aromas that give way to red fruit notes. Fresh and lively in the mouth with a delicate finish. Lovely balance between the citrus and red fruits.
> Aggregated Critic Score : 88/100
