Back in Beaune

with a much nicer weather than in January... Maybe a little bit too hot!
We had more time too, so we visited domains located out of town as well.
One of them was the Château de Pommard:





While waiting for the guided tour of the caves, we could look at the buildings. Here is the old kitchen:

Dali sculptures in the yard.
Painted barrels.


And finally the caves:
Barrels are purchased for each cuvée from a few different barrel makers so they can compare the results, the flavors given to the wine after fermentation.
Another stop was in Nuits Saint Georges, one in Vougeot, Chambolle Musigny... more tasting, and more visits of caves. To do again.
