United Cellars presents The Grand Burgundy Tasting Series

 

Voted as Australia's Best Independent Online Retailer 2013 (by the 2013 Australia's Best Independent Wine Stores Competition), United Cellars brings you their annual Grand Burgundy Tasting Series this September.

 

Burgundy's villages have been producing wines for over 2000 years, and with over 100 appellations or sub-regions, this historically rich pocket of France is renowned for being the most terroir-oriented region in the world.

 

Be guided by United Cellars expert wine buyers during a 2 hour walk-about tasting (Sydney) or at a seated masterclass (Melbourne, Perth and Brisbane), and learn about the amazing quality and diversity of wines from this region. Sample and compare this exceptional selection of fine wines, including Premier Cru and Grand Cru wines, and experience why Burgundy is the most revered wine region in the world.
