Some millésimes are “bons”, some are “grands” and other simply …exceptionnels!

Taste wines from a selection of vintages as we explore the ageing process and talk about what happens to a wine while it’s sitting in bottle. Why are certain vintages better for ageing than others?

Doors open at 6:00 p.m. for a welcome drink. Tasting starts at 6:30 p.m.
