Drouhin with border

Are you a young winemaker who can’t get enough of Burgundy’s noble varieties, Pinot Noir and Chardonnay? Wine Cellar – Fine Wine Merchants and Cellarers – is delighted to offer you a unique opportunity to taste and dine with Veronique Drouhin-Boss, one of Burgundy’s most revered winemakers. What better way could there be to learn about the region and to sample some of its finest wines?

Veronique Drouhin-Boss is the head winemaker of Maison Joseph Drouhin and the ‘guardian’ of the house’s style. On the 9th of May, Wine Cellar will welcome Veronique to Cape Town, where she will present her leading wines, including her 2011 Grands and Premiers Crus. The tasting will be held at La Mouette Restaurant in Sea Point at 18:30 and will be followed by a three-course meal.

If you’d like to win a ticket (valued at R1,500) to this very special evening, tell us why you’re so passionate about Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, and what makes the wines of Burgundy in particular so exceptional? Entrants must be under 30 to be considered and submissions should be between 250 and 300 words. Send your entry to Roland@winecellar.co.za by 2 May and we’ll announce two winners on Facebook and Twitter.
