La Cave de l'Ange Gardien

Under the wing of the Guardian Angel, and in a relaxed atmosphere come and taste Burgundy wines with friends or family. You will be able to sit and enjoy learning a lot about wines, "terroir" and Tradition with Pierre and Nicole. You will also find gourmet regional produces and dishes prepared in Burgundy, foies gras... This place is special. You will not only pass by, you will lounge around .

La Cave de l'Ange Garden is easy to find in Beune. We walked in and were greeted by a gentleman who inquired at what time was our appointment. Naturally, we had none but graciously he asked if we could return later because he had an opening for an English session in late afternoon. We thanked him for his hospitality and said we would return. Upon entering the tasting room a table complete with note paper and glasses was tastefully set. Our group of eight was from Switzerland and spoke English, my wife was the only female. We were entertained and enlightened onevery aspect of wine, from the meaning of color, the 'legs' of wine on glass, the difference of smell from the left nostril to right. I know this sounds tiresome! But it was not! We were fascinated and there was no shortage of laughter. In all, for 10 euro this was the best afternoon of our Burgundy trip. If you are in Beaune go BUT make an appointment.

We toured Chablis with Franck - he’s an amazing guide. Many of the wineries were closed because it was a Sunday, but he was able to arrange a full afternoon of tastings - he’s so trusted that wineries give him the keys to their tasting rooms so you get a private tasting even when closed! We tasted 10+ wines at 3 different wineries that were each very unique and provided a great overview to the wine of Chablis. Franck was able to get us from our hotel and drop us off again after - super convenient and a highlight of our trip.

Chateau du Moulin-a-Vent

Emblematic estate since 1732, the Château du Moulin-à-Vent sits in the very heart of the appellation, 200 yards behind the 15th century-old windmill. Formerly called the Château des Thorins, the estate changed its name when the AOC was born in 1936, but the Château still stands on the flagship terroir of the appellation: Les Thorins. In 1872, as Gevrey became Gevrey-Chambertin or Puligny became Puligny-Montrachet, etc., the village of Romanèche took the name of its most famous grand cru to become Romanèche-Thorins. Today, the family-owned estate has 74 acres of vineyards, exclusively in the Moulin-à-Vent appellation. The Parinet family, along with Brice Laffond, foster a strategy of excellence and a meticulous approach guided by the very identity of their exceptional terroirs.

We arrived at 2pm and Morgane gave our group of 10 a very warm welcome and informative tour. We learned about the terrior and history of Beaujolais while exploring the winery production, quality controls, cellar and tasting room. Highly recommended in the quaint village near Romanèche Thorins, only 43 miles north of Lyon. We hired to excellent van drivers Jordan and Nans from Chauffeur Lyon who stayed with us and had lunch in town. This was such a fun day for this California wine group and a very good bargain.

Henri de Villamont

In the last decade of the 19th century, Léonce Bocquet, owner of the famous Château du Clos de Vougeot and the surrounding 52 ha., decided to build huge vinification and maturation cellars for the wines of his various Domaines. The achievement of this project was entrusted to Albert Suisse, professor at the Art School. Cellars of an area of 2400 m2 and 6 meters high under the vault were finally constructed in 8 years. The building covering it shows red bricks and grey stones on the façade and a roof made of slate. An engraved stone bears the inscription “1888”, date of the completion of the work. When Henri de VIllamont purchased this magnificent building in 1964, the aim was to perpetuate this gigantic work: our prestigious wines are matured in these vaulted cellars and bottles in a special “antique” tinted glass.

The sommelier was friendly and accommodating to our visiting group of 4. Our wine tasting "fee" could be spent towards bottles of wine to take home, so the the tastings were essentially free. We really enjoyed the range of wines on offer and were suprised at how good the sparkling was!

Enjoyable Tour and Tasting This winery was across the art from our hotel and we made arrangements for a tasting on the tail end of our trip. A great assortment of wines produced, with the Domaine focusing on old vine parcels in the region. Family run, our tour was with Armelle herself, making it that much more the fun.

Beautiful chateau and cave, amazing wine, superb staff... The extraordinary Maxime curated an amazing week in Burgundy for us in late June. We spent 5 days touring the rolling hills of Burgundy, learning the history of Chateau de la Cree, enlightening our palates, visiting caves and cellars, enjoying lovely meals, and learning all about this renowned wine region. Maxime is charming, knowledgeable, enthusiastic, and passionate--we couldn't have asked for a better host! And our lunch on the terrace of Chateau de la Cree with Francois and Pablo was the highlight--we could have stayed forever!

Wow, what a great experience! We started with a movie and tasted afterwards some very good wines, beginning with some regional wines and endig with a grand cru. We’ve got many information about the wine and the region. Because we don’t know very much about wine, we maybe asked some ‘stupid questions’ but nevertheless she answered all those question with pleassure and a big smile. She really made feel us comfortable. Also afterwards there was no pressure to buy anything, however it would be appreciated. For us, we enjoyed it very much and would thank them for this good experience! You definitely have to stop over when you have the chance
