Grand Cru Tasting Series - Chambertin

etc wine shops is extremely happy to launch a new Grand Cru Tasting Series with more fantastic wineries and chateaux! Our head sommelier Mathieu Pouchan will guide you through a unforgettable wine journey that will enrich your knowledge of some of the greatest and rarest French wines.

The name Chambertin has been used since the 13th century and once shared imperial approval with Clos de Bèze - Napoleon would drink nothing else. Its boundaries have not changed since the Middle Ages. In recognition of their similarity, the 7 « climats » adjoining those of Chambertin and Clos de Bèze attach the name Chambertin to their own names (except in the case of Clos de Bèze where the name Chambertin comes first). Grand Cru status was officially granted on 31 July 1937.

On February 27th, taste a selection of 7 great wines from Chambertin including 6 Grands Crus!

On the night, you will taste:
· Armand Rousseau Gevrey Chambertin Clos St. Jacques 1988
