Suggestions for wine-tating in Beaune (Burgundy)

by R Cabrera » Thu Nov 01, 2007 3:48 am

I'll be in Beaune for a weekend in mid-November, taking the TGV upon arrival in Paris.

I'll be by myself and would prefer not to drive this time. I'm looking for suggestions on producers within or around the town (Beaune) that would accomodate tasting on a Saturday/and/or a Sunday in mid-November.

Thank you.

Ramon,
as I told you at '04 Bdx dinner, others are a lot more knowledgable than I. But I have couple thoughts:

1) Make appointments! Best is to ask a retailer you know if they will ask distributor/importer to make appointments, if you don't want to do yourself.

2) I know you dont want to drive. But maybe taxis or a rental bike could be the answer. I mean Burgundy is small, and Savigny, Chorey, Pommard are just outside of Beaune. Savigny is a cute little village, why not make appointments at some great producers like Chandon de Brialles, Pavelot, Ecard, Bize? Most have other wines (some Corton Grand Crus).

Thanks, Dale. Also, for the information in your PM. I like Drouhin and I'll make the phone call.
