One of the best wine tastings I’ve been on.Superb wine.
474carolp, Sept 2025
Excellent.No tour of the vineyard or process which is fine by me as I’ve seen it many times.Instead we got a detailed education on burgundy wines - region,types,vines,etc.We then tasted several wines-without pressure! Able to compare and contrast the different wines through relaxed conversation with Jean.Jean was very passionate and polite.We stayed for almost 3 hours given how good it was.Thoroughly recommend.

Our favorite wine tasting in France
174cameronr, Jul 2025
We did several wine tastings on our trip to France, and by far this was our favorite! Not only was the wine great, but Jean is clearly very passionate and knowledgeable about winemaking. He took the time to really dive into the history of the region and the details of growing grapes and winemaking. He answered all our questions, I learned more than any other tour I’ve been on. We were there with our baby, and you don’t always feel welcome with an infant, but Jean was so hospitable and made us feel at home! Jean is the winemaker and tends the fields and gardens, which we liked much better than the tours at the larger estates where it’s a hired tour guide. The sheep were also very cute! Don’t be intimidated if you don’t have a car, it’s about a 20 minute walk from the train station, and is a short train ride from Dijon or Beaune. I can’t recommend this tour enough!

A visit to Nuit St Georges

A very pleasant moment. The explanations concerning the different varieties and hillsides of the region are provided as the discussion progresses and are an integral part of a fun and friendly exchange. Really far from a long monologue. You feel that you are received by a person who loves his job. In addition the wine is excellent. Thank you again Jean for a great time. (I hope the sheep are okay!) See you soon

Experience at the top! Jean shared his passion with us. The place is very nice and very nice. The tasting is just as complete and interesting as the rest of the tour. Again Jean showed a very high availability. He answered all our many questions, and it was a real moment of sharing. Thank you Jean it was really great, to the pleasure!! We will think of you while tasting our Marsannay!
