Burgundy Wine: Icons Uncorked

Join us for an evening exploring the wines of two celebrated Burgundy producers, with whites from Domaine Jean-Paul et Benoît Droin, based in Chablis, and reds from Domaine Berthaut-Gerbet, based in the Northern Côte-de-Nuits village of Fixin.

Focussing on two of the region’s star winemakers, Amélie Berthaut-Gerbet and Benoît Droin, we will explore what sets their wines apart and how they and others in the region have continued to innovate and push the boundaries of what Burgundy wine can achieve.

Domaine Jean-Paul et Benoît Droin boasts 400 years of winemaking history in the village of Chablis, but has risen to new heights of excellence under the stewardship of 14th-generation Benoît Droin to become one of the foremost domaines in the region, famed for consistently producing quality at every level of the appellation system.

Domaine Berthaut-Gerbet is another historic estate that has risen to global fame in recent years. Working in one of the Côte d’Or’s lesser-known villages, Amélie Berthaut-Gerbet makes stylish and captivating reds that showcase Fixin’s potential and are now among Burgundy’s most coveted wines.

This tasting will be a rare opportunity to enjoy and compare wines from different levels of the Burgundy appellation system side-by-side, from Regional level wines all the way up to Grand Cru. We will discuss the many factors that make Burgundy and its wines so renowned.
