Day 8

Much of what we learned was discussed during our on-site visit to some Vineyards. As you will hear, the wind was pretty significance so none of the dialogue explaining what we were looking at is audible. One of the essential points was how the slope of the land helps determine the quality of the grapes. The vines in the "plains," or level areas, are used to create the regional wines, the bottom and top of the slopes are where the Premier and Village Branded wines come from and the steep mid part of the slope produces the cream of the crop known as the Grand Crus.

Our lunch and tasting was with Tibo Garin from Cottin Frères a wine distributor in Nuits-Saint George.
