Wine Tasting

Discover the wines of Chablis, Irancy and Saint Bris

It’s difficult to spend some days in Burgundy without tasting some of the high quality wines the region has to offer. Chablis is of course the most renowed in the area but there are also other options in this part of Burgundy such as Pinot wines in Irancy and Sauvignon Blanc in Saint Bris. Organic wine making and bio-dynamic culture are well developed in our region and give excellent wines. Some of our favourite addresses; Domaine Brocard, Domaine de l’Enclos, Roland Laventureux, Felix et Gabin Richoux, Domaine Goisot.
