april 28th, 2022 by Unnur BisgaardYou find Domaine Drouhin-Laroze on your right at the end of the one-way rue Gaizot, right in the middle of Gevrey Chambertin. A very impressive entrance takes you into a small park, in which their private buildings, winery, cellars etc. are beautifully placed. You might get the impression of entering a chateau in Bordeaux, but […]
Domaine Collotte, Marsannay
april 28th, 2022 by Unnur BisgaardAlthough Marsannay has a long record of wine production with ups and downs, the vignerons did not convince the INAO that they were entitled to their own AC until 1987.
