PRESSOIR DINNER: CHAMBOLLE-MUSIGNY AND BONNES-MARES

The name itself suggests refinement, and its famous climats like Sentiers, Les Amoureuses, Bonnes Mares sound like poetry. Join Pressoir for an exquisite wine dinner and enjoy some of the best Pinot Noir on the planet.

PRESSOIR APÉRO: GEVREY-CHAMBERTIN
Tuesday, January 30, 6-7:30pm
The mythical village of Gevrey-Chambertin is where Pinot Noir finds its most brooding and powerful voice in all of Burgundy. The intricate topography around the village offers a deeply educational study of the appellation so Pressoir has chosen different angles for this Apéro (short for apéritif, this is a walk-around style of tasting before a meal). Guests will explore verticals of vintages to showcase the impact of the year on a given vineyard, tended by the same producer, and will taste some superb examples of wines made around the famous Combe de Lavaux, including the one and only “Clos-Saint-Jacques.” In addition, Pressoir will delight attendees with three Grand Cru bottlings from top producers.
- Location: Pressoir Tasting Room & Clubhouse,
