Before choosing among all the wines of the cellar, it is important to approach them during a tasting session. Because, if their common point is an organoleptic of high quality, their differences of vines, soils and climate, which are not the same between the North and the South, is obvious.
One can appreciate the Cornas and the Saint Péray, the Saint Joseph, the Crozes Hermitage, the incomparable Côte Rôtie and the prestigious Hermitage wines and know how to differentiate them, including between the different years. Between those which can be drunk and those to be kept and other subtleties which make the difference.
Look also at the Châteauneuf du Pape wines as far as the Tricastin, not forgetting local wines which sometimes reserve amazing surprises, nor the bankable values such as the Condrieu.
All this is taught at the school. You will sit down with the wine stewards around a fine bistrot dinner or a lunch. One can also practice vertical tasting sessions or other subtle exercises during more elaborate sessions.
You are right in the heart of this new wave called the oenotourism which allies wine knowledge and regional tourist discoveries. To be tested on the route towards your holiday destination. Unless you decide, as a result, not to go past Tain l’Hermitage. There is enough to do!
