Paris 6 Grand Cru Wine Tastings with a Professional Sommelier Guide
I am not an expert but I have devoted a large number of brain and liver cells to wine tasting (and drinking) over the past 50 years and I rate the O Chateau Grand Cru tasting as exceptional. The setting, the wines, the accompaniments, and most importantly the leader were as close to perfect as reasonable. The setting in a quiet back room with a limited number of seats was perfect. There was an abundance of excellent bread and a charcuterie with meats and cheeses. The wines were limited to six with three being "young" and three having seen some time in the bottle. We had a champagne, a red burgundy, a Chablis, a red Bordeaux (1998), a red Rhone and the d'Yquem (1997). This was a "serious" tasting, not a cheap drunk which does not mean there was not enough wine. Our leader was both extremely knowledgeable and he made his knowledge easily approachable. Our trip to Champagne earlier in the week had me confused about sugar levels at harvest - in Champagne they had said harvest at 9 deg. Brix which makes no sense and in response to my question our O Chateau leader explained they meant at a Brix level that would yield 9% alcohol, which means a Brix level of about 16 deg. which makes sense (don't worry most of the information is not that technical). He got everything right based on my understanding of the chemistry and my experience tasting. This was well worth the time and money.

French wines are cherished the world over. Especially prized are those bearing the designation of grand cru—a classification of exceptionally high-quality vineyards and vintages. Grand crus are often associated with the famed Burgundy and Alsace regions but also come from other winegrowing areas. For a taste of these fine wines, make your way to a charming tasting room in the heart of the city near the Louvre. 

An expert sommelier will introduce you to six different French wines, including several grand crus and premier crus (the next level down from grand cru), as well as other high-quality aged wines. Enjoy a selection of French cheeses and charcuterie to bring out the complex flavors of the wine. Your sommelier will customize the tasting based on your personal wine preferences. 

Throughout the experience, you’ll get professional tasting tips and learn about the different winegrowing regions of France. Your sommelier will share the centuries-old hierarchy of the country’s wines and help you understand French wine labels so you can order and buy with confidence. Whether you’re new to wine or an expert oenophile, you’ll leave with a renewed appreciation of the fabulous wines of France.
