The Wine Compass

C'était très sympa, on était 3 et on a passé un très bon moment. Pauline était très disponible, à l'écoute et a répondu à toutes nos questions, elle a vraiment pris le temps pour nous. Un atelier à faire et très intéressant.

Our whole trip was amazing, and this wine tasting was truly the highlight.

Très agréable moment. On en apprend sur la Bourgogne et on s’étonne de la diversité des vins.

It was a very educational and enlightening wine tasting. The discussion was great and the wines were very interesting to discover. Would highly recommend this masterclass!

Ca s’est très bien passé, on a gardé un bon souvenir :) C’était complet et le vocabulaire était adapté aux prolétaires que nous sommes !

Ca s’est bien passé, c’était top, la guide était super à l’écoute et elle a adapté sa présentation en fonction de ce qu’on aime.

LOVE LOVE LOVE the Burgundy Wine Masterclass! Most wine tastings we’ve been to have focused on learning a bit about the winemaker and then the specific wines we tasted - lovely, of course - but the Masterclass also taught us a lot about the region, the winemaking process, and - most unique - using sight, smell, and taste to really explore the wine and what you might pair it with to let the wine truly shine. Matthieu started with a short smell “workshop” to help us identify the “notes” we were likely to smell (and taste) and what brings them out in the wine - and then he circled back to those “notes” during the tasting - such a fun way to get a better understanding of what those wine descriptions mean! Matthieu provided all of the information in a comfortable, friendly, and unpretentious environment. He’s so excited to share his knowledge and love of wine! We enjoyed every minute and would recommend this to anyone looking for a unique, educational, and fun wine experience!

The wine tasting we did at the Wine Compass was quite nice. The teacher/class leader Pauline was a good communicator - especially in English, which wasn't her first language - helping us understand all of the different complexities of wine in Burgundy. She walked us through all of the key concepts of wine labeling and understanding what one is drinking when opening a bottle. We also did a blind scent game that was fun. Moreover, we had a really nice array of wine to try. Two were stellar (especially for the price) and we took a few bottles of each home.

This was one of the best wine-tasting experiences I have ever had. Matthieu was friendly and welcoming, and he certainly knew his stuff. The combination of maps, sensory activities, and tasting were as balanced as the wines he chose for us. After several other wine tastings, my friend and I agreed that this was the best, and an outstanding value for the price. Many thanks, Matthieu!

Je ne peux que vous conseiller d’y aller les yeux fermés ! Matthieu nous accueille dans son caveau avec beaucoup de bienveillance, de gentillesse et d’attention. Matthieu est un œnologue passionné et passionnant ! La dégustation est généreuse et les échanges riches ! Expérience à faire et refaire ! Merci Matthieu !
