Confrerie Burgundy Trip – Day 1

For one week, cumulating at the Trois Glorieuses, we committed ourselves to uncovering vinous and epicurean pleasures in the villages of Burgundy.

All 2009s were tasted before malo. Most 2008s were tasted out of barrels, malo completed.

Delicate balance of minerals, fruit and acidity. Feminine and pure wines.
