What to expect
Day one centres on the Côte de Nuits. You'll walk between some of the world's most expensive vineyard parcels, stopping to understand soil, aspect, and why these particular slopes command such reverence. The estate visit includes a structured tasting of different vintages showing how these wines age, followed by a set lunch in the property's dining space. Afterwards, descend into cool cellars stacked with oak barrels holding years of development. Day two shifts south to the Côte de Beaune, where you'll drift between smaller villages, tasting at different stops and seeing how the landscape and wine styles gradually shift. Expect unhurried exploration rather than tick-box tourism.
