Unlike a large majority of wine training courses that can be offered in the Bordeaux region; this is authentic! I welcome you directly to my workplace in a warm and country setting where I will put at your service my experience and know-how as an oenologist to teach you everything you will need to progress in this fabulous environment.
In this unique workshop, you will not leave empty-handed but with your own personalised cuvée.
If you decide to book a full day, it is even possible to have lunch on site, in which case I will take care of cooking for you.
I hope to see you very soon at La Mondette:)
Ps: I can transport up to 4 people in my vehicle from Libourne station.
Pickup included
Welcome vinophytes. It is with pleasure to receive you (morning or afternoon) on the estate of La Mondette 15 minutes drive from the charming village of Saint-Émilion. After welcome over a small coffee, I will offer you a small walk through the vineyard to tell you a little about the estate, the terroir and the wine aspects I undertake for my production. This will be followed by a short tour of the winery and barrel cellar where I will explain the principles of red winemaking, which is important for the continuity of the workshop. You would then have some elements of knowledge that will allow you to approach more serenely the initiation to professional tasting that I ensured through a small support that will be given to you as well as various exercises of sensory analyses. Finally, the heart of the workshop will come where you will have the opportunity to make your own blend through the different grape varieties and winemaking methods I make. All this while being guided according to your preferences of course. So you will each leave with your own 75 cL cuvée:) See you soon! Baptist
