About Claire
As a trained geologist turned wine expert, I bring a unique perspective to understanding Burgundy's legendary climats. I've spent 12 years mapping the soils and microclimates that make each vineyard plot distinct, and I translate this technical knowledge into accessible, fascinating stories.
My programs take you into the vineyards themselves. We'll walk the Côte d'Or, taste soil differences, and meet vignerons who farm their land with almost spiritual dedication. Burgundy rewards those who look closely, and I'll help you see what makes these wines worth their legendary status.
