Tasting Set Includes:

• Pierre Sparr Pinot Blanc
  Pale yellow in color, this wine is clear and brilliant The nose is fresh and delicate Aromas of white fruits, like pear, dominate On the palate, again there are fruit flavors and a dynamic, ripe acidity that refreshes, while the fine minerality gives the right tension.
• Joseph Drouhin Chorey Les Beaune
  A very pleasant wine. Bright, clear red colour. Aromas are surprising in their intensity and fruit. On the palate, a tender, supple, graceful, round body. Very flavourful in the aftertaste, with a hint of blackberry jam. When the wine gets older, wild blackberry is the dominant aroma.
• Chateau Marsau
  Deep, rich color. A nose of black fruit, menthol, evolving into mineral notes when aired (pencil lead, chalk). An elegant palate, voluptuous, supple, silky tannins.
