Wine tasting workshop in Nuits-Saint-Georges: 6 Burgundy wines

Six wines, one tasting room, the story of Burgundy's Climates

A private wine tasting workshop at Dufouleur Frères in Nuits-Saint-Georges, held in a temperature-controlled room at l'Œnothèque within the Château park. You'll taste 6 selected wines while a passionate team member walks you through Burgundy's grape varieties, its UNESCO-listed Climates system, and the estate's own practices: all tailored to what you want to know. Bottled water is included. You can buy wines on the spot or arrange shipment afterward. The session runs about an hour, and the Château park is open to explore after tasting.

The experience

What makes this tasting different is the setting and the focus: you're not in a commercial tasting room but in l'Œnothèque, a dedicated space inside the Château park where Dufouleur Frères hosts visitors by appointment. The guide is someone from the estate itself, which means the conversation stays rooted in what they actually grow and how they work the land. The room is temperature-controlled, so the wines stay at the right temperature and you can concentrate on what you're tasting without distraction.

The tasting moves through 6 wines the estate has chosen for you, paired with talk about Bourgogne's main varieties and its famous Climates: the UNESCO-protected system of small vineyard parcels, each with its own microclimate and character. The guide tailors the conversation to your curiosity, so if you want to dig into soil or fermentation or the history of a particular parcel, that's where the time goes. If you're there to taste and enjoy, that works too. Bottled water is provided throughout.

After the tasting, you can walk the Château park during its opening hours if you want to stay longer. If you find wines you like, you can buy them on the spot and take them with you immediately, or arrange for them to be shipped to an address in France or abroad. Free parking is available for both cars and bikes in the park. If you cycle in, you can refill water bottles and recharge devices free of charge. The estate is about 1.5 km from Nuits-Saint-Georges SNCF station, a 15-minute train ride from Dijon, and it's only 15 minutes by bike from the famous Château du Clos de Vougeot if you want to combine visits.
