Our first trip to Burgundy definitely didn’t disappoint. We visited larger well known wineries (Domaine Louis Jadot, Maison Joseph Drouhin) and discovered some wonderful new gems (Domaine Truchetet, Domaine David Moreau, Domaine Philippe et Arnaud Dubreuil). We ate fantastic farm-to-table fare at terrific local restaurants and sipped sensational wines at some quintessentially Burgundian wine bars. We hiked through some of the most renown Grand Cru and Premier vineyards in the world and delved deep into historic cellars beneath Beaune.
