Burgundy Masterclass Melbourne

There is no doubt we are in the Golden Age for Burgundy. At no time in its long and exalted history has there been such a plenitude of outstanding vignerons making great wine. However, the wider world is now awake to this, ensuring demand for the top wines is insatiable and prices have skyrocketed. Where does this leave us mere mortals, the regular Burgundy lover?

Join us as we dissect a selection of Burgundies from less-heralded domaines and appellations. We hope to prove that there is still much to choose from and in some cases can be found at reasonable prices along and around The Côte, as long as you know where to look!
