Impressions from Burgundy
On the First of September I attended a wedding in the heart of Burgundy in the middle of the harvest season. Besides celebrating the wedding in the church of Gevrey Chambertin and having a toast on the couple with delicious wines in the chateau de Marsannay, I was of course constantly surrounded by fantastic impressions of a legendary wine region. Unfortunately it was a very cloudy day - nevertheless, here are some pictures.

From a Burgundian living in Japan
Discovered you thanks to Luxeat!
Great blog!
Would you know my sister-in-law was born in Gewvrey Chambertin?
My family lives in and around Chalon Sur Saone where we basically drink Cote Chalonnaise! My Japanese wife loves it, and I too, that is between two Japanese sake bottles from our Prefecture!
My own brother holds his restaurant, Auberge du Moulin in Simandre, Bresse (the country of the blue-legged chicken!).
The last picture reminds me of a picture I took near my dad's home in Givry last August. But "grapillage" is not an issue there!
Expect me to visit and comment again!
Until then, prosit, sante, kampai!
Cheers,
