#tbt France Summer 2014

Wish I was back in France, drinking white burgundy and eating amazing food. Hope I get to go back soon!

Matrot

The first time in Beaune and I was lucky enough to visit Matrot. Adele Matrot gave the tasting, and I got to taste some of my favorite wines. She was very excited about her work, and although she spoke mostly French (there were 6 Frenchmen there also), she took the time to explain about the winery and the wine in English as well.

Before we arrived in Beaune, there had been a hail storm, and many of the grapes were ruined. The winemakers were truly disappointed, and hope for better weather next year.
