Pre-Trip Recommendations

READ

Inside Guide to Burgundy

A true bible of Burgundy, MW Jasper Morris's second edition of his reference book is the wine geek's key to understanding the complexity of this region.

WATCH

Ce Qui Nous Lie

Cedric Klapish, one of the most talented contemporary filmmakers in France, fell in love with Burgundy a long time ago and made this film as a tribute to the region. Special appearance by winemaker Jean Marc Roulot.

DRINK

Domaine Glantenay

The wines of Domaine Glantenay exhibit great elegance and suppleness, thanks in part to Guillaume’s refined approach to winemaking. He uses, for example, 15-20% whole-bunch fruit to lift the perfumes and ages in low toasted oak, further highlighting the delicate aromas of his wines. And to preserve the estate’s terroir, the vineyards are sustainably managed without the use of pesticides or herbicides. Between its outstanding vineyard holdings and Guillaume’s innate talent, this is a domaine to watch, and at present, offers some of the best value wines anywhere in Burgundy!
