Champagne & Burgundy Tour de France
This month, Saturday Afternoons @ Annata is sponsored by Single Vineyard Sellers as we embark on an extraordinary journey through two of the world's most celebrated wine regions. Under the expert guidance of internationally recognised fine wine authority Claire Wright, we trace a path from the effervescent prestige of Champagne to the profound mineral complexity of Chablis and the silken elegance of Burgundy Rouge.
We open with Champagne Jacquart Brut Signature with the precision and brioche-laced character of the Marne Valley. We then taste an extraordinary range of Nicolas Potel's Chablis from the fresh mineral directness of Petit Chablis and village Chablis, through three exceptional 2023 Premier Cru terroirs — Montmains, Vaillons and Vaucoupin — to the structured depth of the 2022 Premier Cru Cote de Lechet. Each step in the Chablis progression offers a masterclass in how Kimmeridgian limestone and Chardonnay interact across different slopes and exposures. We conclude with the 2020 Nuiton-Beaunoy Volnay Rouge: a wine of silken Pinot Noir perfume, fine tannin and the characteristic elegance that makes Volnay the most beloved red wine village of the Cote de Beaune.
Claire Wright brings to the afternoon an extraordinary depth of knowledge accumulated through years of travelling the cellars of Burgundy's elite domaines and curating access to ultra-premium wines on a global stage. Her expert commentary will illuminate the terroir and history behind each wine. As an optional accompaniment, Executive Chef Jordon Garcia will present a refined gourmet charcuterie selection designed to enhance the sensory experience.
