Burgundy Wine Test

[Craig Camp]

Can you spot the mistake???? The wine prices and food look good though.

Beats me

Jura is in eastern France

the 97 Les Caillerets is a white

the 97 Les Pezerolles is a red as well as the Perrot-Minot

Montrachet, France?

[GordonCooks]

Is it because its listed as just Montrachet - not Puligny or Chassagne or Batard etc

[OPJK]

The only thing I can see is that I think there is no town named "Montrachet." I know of Puligny-Montrachet and Chassagne-Montrachet, but I don't think there is a "brand-name" town of Montrachet.

But then again, who needs a town to go to when you can drink that yummy stuff at home?

[Craig Camp]

Winners!

Dateline: Montrachet - there is no town of Montrachet, France - only a vineyard.

The two towns of the area are Chassagne and Puligny, both of which have hyphenated the name of the famous vineyard onto their name. At the end they do finally say the restaurant is in Chassagne.

Maybe Patricia was sitting in the Montrachet vineyard when toggling this nice article into her notebook?

Nonsense, of course.

[Craig Camp]

It certainly would be an expensive piece of real estate on which to build a restaurant.

In Burgundy wine is geography.

I ate at Le Chassagne this week. I can tell you that it was really good and totally unexpected in such a tiny, sleepy and ancient town. A great find. A vigneron I was visiting took us there.
