Questions Uncorked

Hi Sheri : Do you know in what Burgundy village the celebration of St Vincent will be held in 2010? I would like to buy a case of both red and white from the local vineyards to celebrate with my friends next year. I was told 2009 was in Les Maranches and I bought a few bottles of Macon-Uchizy Les Maranches 2004 by Comte Lafon. Please provide help if possible. I will be in Burgundy for a week in April and would like to see what is possible for the St. Vincent Celebration for 2010—thank you for your kindness-

Hi Rick, Thanks so much for your question! I love your St. Vincent’s Day celebration idea! After checking in with the folks at the Bureau Interprofessionnel des Vins de Bourgogne (BIVB), the trade association for all wine producers throughout Burgundy, I was able to get a little bit of information for you. Right now, the Grande Saint-Vincent Tournante of Burgundy will be in Chassagne Montrachet and the St Vincent Chablisien, will be held in Tonnerre. There is a new website that was recently launched that might have a bit more information for you (for now the site is only in French, I’m sure that more information will be available in multiple languages at a later date) that can be found here.
At the moment though, that’s all the information that is available. But hopefully that will give you a bit more to go on as you plan your trip to Burgundy in April. And continue to check back with the blog, I’ll be sure to post more information when I have it!

Thanks so much and have a great trip!

Sheri
