Les petits crus offers a real experience around wines and cheeses. First, you choose the formula, either you test 4 or 6 pairings, then you choose your cheese board: mild, strong, creamy, or favorites. The wines arrive in small bottles, the cheeses on a slate. The tasting begins in a certain order. We are taken on a journey of flavors. No need to know anything about the products, everything is explained, we let ourselves be carried away, we discover, we appreciate and we even remember the names that have seduced our palate. An escape game around the wine is also organized for a new original oenological discovery.
