and during this visit, it shall reveal all its secrets… As Hubert Duyer said in
1980 “In Vosne-Romanée, you feel like you are entering the treasure vault of
Burgundy, indeed this is where you will find the richest, most ingenious and
most precious wines of all of Burgundy”.

Start with a bicycle ride
(providing the weather is on our side) in the various prestigious plots of
Vosne-Romanée such as Richebourg, Romanée Saint-Vivant, Grands-Echezeaux,
Romanée-Conti or Echezeaux. You will be told the tale of this mythical
sacred land while following the border paths of the Grands Crus. You will
be offered a break to taste a wine on the very plot its grapes were grown,

Mongeard-Mugneret.
