La Grande Cave de Vougeot

Mistook this for another venue and before the visit was skeptical of what I would experience. Our guide took us through the grape growing and winemaking processes, highlighting the challenges both historic and current. Surprise to me, they have an actual, formerly working cave below the building, and you get a tour of that as well, including seeing stacks of unlabeled, mystery-content bottles from the previous century. Though you don't get to sample those, you do get a thorough explanation of and tasting of a raft of wines from cremant to white to red. The explanation of the terroirs, climats, and annual variations convinced me that though I can enjoy vins de Bourgogne, I'll never be able to master knowing them. C'est la vie...and that's just fine. It's a private company, and mainly set up to sell you wine, but worth a visit. I'm unsure whether the tasting fee is refunded if you purchase some number of bottles because I arrived by bike and my pannier was full.

Accueil au top, super visite, dégustation avec de balles découvertes. Merci à Pierre-Yves pour ses explications.

Esperienza molto positiva grazie alla guida che ci ha dato tantissime notizie e curiosità sia nella breve visita delle cantine ma soprattutto durante la degustazione

présentation interessante, explications claires ; organisation en petit groupe appréciée.

Leuke rondleiding en wijnproeverij door een deskundige gids. Was heel leerzaam. Je leert veel over de Bourgondische wijnen. Zeker doen.

Beaucoup d’enthousiasme à tous les stades: histoire, géographie, dégustation.

Hartelijke ontvangst. Leuke rondleiding in de mooie kelder. Goede uitleg bij de ‘wine tasting’ en bovenal heerlijke wijnen.

Nice experience, the girl really skilled on the topics and the suggestions.

Ottimo tutto, dallo staff alla location e vini davvero interessanti con ideale rapporto qualità prezzo
