An extraordinary experience!

An actually crossed tasting, where the exceptional wines elaborated by Betrand-Gabriel Vigouroux meet the fine cuisine of the Michelin-starred chef Julien Poisot, the whole paired with sacred music pieces sang by the Ensemble la Sportelle and precisely chosen to match each wines : a parallel is drawn between the textures of the tannins and the sounds.

Wine, just like music, can be tasted with words : that is the reason why the tastin is guided, we count the wines and the songs, their histories, their magic, their meeting points.
