Next to the Notre-Dame Basilica, the Maison Joseph Drouhin Oenotheque is located in the magnificent building of the former Parliament of Burgundy. This building, which dates back to the 12th century, is worth a visit and the marble plaque on the pediment speaks volumes about its historical past. Once through the airlock, you enter a sublime room where the stone columns support a vaulted ceiling, a luxury case for haute couture wines. The oenotheque is the showcase for the wines of a world-renowned estate. Founded in 1880, the estate is still run by the same family. The family is committed to perpetuating the tradition by ensuring each step of the production, from the work in the vineyard to the promotion and export. In short, this place is a sumptuous boutique where you can offer yourself one of the 90 Joseph Drouhin appellations, including some old vintages straight from the reserve. Here you can visit the historic cellars dating back to the 13th and 15th centuries that run under the city. Once you have had this unique experience, you can taste the wines of the estate. Regularly, the oenotheque renews thematic meetings, on reservation, for groups limited between 8 and 30 people. The agenda is posted on the website: blind tastings, food and wine pairings with truffles or chocolate, tasting of great wines... New: a guided tour of the vineyards of the Maison au Clos des Mouches by electric bicycle followed by a visit to the cellars and a tasting.
