Tour de Cote D'Or MasterClass
Burgundy is a region where the smallest shifts in terroir can make a remarkable difference in the glass—and there is no better way to understand that than through tasting across the Côte d’Or with someone who knows these wines inside and out.
Join us for an immersive Burgundy MasterClass with James Leonard, co-owner of new importer, HeritEdge, as he takes us on a journey through a carefully curated selection of Burgundy estates. From the rising vineyards of the Hautes-Côtes de Beaune to the legendary villages of Meursault, Puligny-Montrachet, Pommard, Morey-Saint-Denis, and Gevrey-Chambertin, this tasting will explore how vineyard site, appellation, and winemaking come together to create Burgundy’s singular sense of place.
We’ll begin in the Côte de Beaune with a flight of Chardonnays, moving from the Hautes-Côtes de Beaune “Clos Bortier” from Fouquerand to the classic richness and minerality of Latour-Giraud Meursault “Cuvée Charles Maxime” and Michel Caillot Meursault “Les Limozins,” before finishing with the Premier Cru pedigree of Michel Caillot Puligny-Montrachet “Les Folatières.”
From there, we’ll turn to Pinot Noir and make our way north through Burgundy, beginning with Fouquerand Hautes-Côtes de Beaune “Derrière Montbard,” then exploring the distinct personalities of Clos Saint-Louis Marsannay and Fixin, Latour-Giraud Pommard “Cuvée Carmen,” Olivier Guyot Morey-Saint-Denis “Les Sorbets,” and finally Trapet Gevrey-Chambertin “Ostrea.” Along the way, James will put each wine into context, explaining the vineyards, appellations, producers, and stylistic differences that make Burgundy endlessly fascinating.
This is an opportunity to taste your way through the region with a knowledgeable guide—and discover some seriously exciting bottles along the way.
