Important news from Beaune…
First off, I wanted to alert you to an opportunity to get in on a very special offering of some once-in-a-lifetime wines that will be produced in Burgundy this fall. A group of Burgundy’s top producers, including Aubert de Villaine of DRC, our friend Véronique Drouhin of Joseph Drouhin & DDO, and the folks at Dujac, Leflaive, Roulot and more - have gotten together to produce a limited series of Magnums from top 1er Cru vineyards this fall, all to raise money for local charities in Burgundy. They’re calling the group “Climats de Coeur” - click the link for all the information.
You can reserve your wines online starting Friday June 26th - they are sold only in sets of 4 magnums, with a limit of only one set per person. Only 1,000 sets will be made - stunning 1er Crus from Gevrey-Chambertin, Vosne-Romanée, Meursault, and Puligny-Montrachet. Incredible stuff! We have no connection with this endeavor - just thought it would be cool to pass it along. Seems like a good time to share a nice shot of Richebourg while we’re at it…
While in Beaune last week, I got to spend some time with an American friend who has moved there, and is now offering wonderful cooking classes and market tours in Beaune. Meet Marjorie Taylor of the Cook’s Atelier - she has a delicious blog, a great website, and is living the dream in Burgundy (and cooking up some fabulously tasty stuff!) She has just started up an amazing program offering dream weekends in Beaune - including world-class lodging at a new four-room masterpiece that has just opened in the middle of town. Get in on this treat before the world is hip to it!
