This Burgundy dinner focuses on some really important sights. Montrachet - the Grand Cru that named both villages of Puligny-Montrachet and Chassagne-Montrachet. We go after some amazing wines to show off MONTRACHET in its best light.
The red wines will be Chambertin - and the famous CLOS DE BÈZE - a vertical of Bouchard who may have one of the best parcels. Tasted next to other iconic wines from the similar terroir. And then we move to a series of Grand Cru Reds that are the defining wines of the region... Bonnes Mares, Musigny, Clos de Tart, Clos St-Denis, and Romanee Saint-Vivant ... from DRC. The value in this dinner comes when you are able to taste the greatest wines properly served side by side. This dinner sells out at 14 guests sharing 14 wines - and yes - you can bring a special bottle to share if you are inspired to do so. The audience is amazing and the food at 71 ABOVE rivals the best in the city.
