A Great Wine Moment

In the last class of the Wine School‘s Advanced: Classic Certification program, I taught on the terroir of Burgundy. The wines we used (all 1er Cru from Nuits) were some of the most perfect examples of the variation of the limestone scarp overlooking this tiny region, but also the extreme variation of winemaking styles now at play.

For those who want the DRC experience without spending $400+ a bottle, heres the short list:

1. Dominique Laurent 2003 Nuits Saint Georges
2. Domaine Jean Grivot 2003 “Les Boudots”
3. Lucien le Moine 2003 “Les Vaucrains”
4. Domaine Robert Chevillon 2004 “Les Roncieres”
