Domaine Montmain Aged Vintage Tasting Experience

Aged Burgundy wine tasting

Discover a different side of Burgundy at Domaine Montmain, a family-run estate in the Côte de Nuits known for its dedication to long-aged wines and traditional winemaking. Unlike many wineries that focus solely on recent releases, Domaine Montmain offers visitors the rare opportunity to taste mature vintages, including wines aged for more than a decade, revealing the complexity and elegance that develop over time. During this immersive experience, you'll explore the estate’s underground cellars, learn about the region’s terroirs and ageing techniques, and gain insight into the meticulous work that takes place from vineyard to bottle. The guided tasting showcases a selection of red and white Burgundy wines, often featuring vintages up to 10 years old or more, allowing guests to compare how wines evolve with age.
