If you can only make it to Burgundy for a flying visit (on your way back from skiing perhaps?) call in to the Oiseau des Vignes restaurant at the Hotel Le Cep in the centre of Beaune. They have over 70 wines from the region on offer by the glass. If you don’t know where to start you can confidently ask David, the Sommelier, for a selection to accompany your menu. Not only will he take away the stress of deciding what to choose but should you, per chance, have enjoyed your wine so much that you may not remember his choices the next morning, just ask and he will print out all the details for you to take away as a souvenir.
