Jasper on Terroir: Tour de Beaune
Hosted by Jasper Morris MW
The terroir finding itself under the forensic gaze of Burgundy expert Jasper Morris MW is the relatively sizeable Beaune premier cru.
While these forgivingly sloped vineyards hold no grand cru plots, what you will find are parcels owned by some of Burgundy’s most famed producers, and – should you know where to look – a well of keenly priced and rewarding wines.
Navigating the ground and gradients, Morris points out his favoured sites, revealing the tales behind them as well as their temperaments, before heading inside to sample the handiwork of prestigious names including Joseph Drouhin, Domaine Faiveley and Bouchard Père & Fils.
These wines are also available to our digital members as a tasting kit; an unmissable opportunity to taste the hand-picked selection of one of Burgundy’s foremost experts.
