About the event
This holiday season, take a tour of Burgundy along the Route des Grands Crus, in this private event for the Alliance Française of Phoenix.
Grab your glass and travel with Claire Stein on a virtual journey along the world-famous wine road, the "Route des Grand Crus" in Burgundy.
Let’s explore Burgundy together and learn how Burgundy’s star grape varieties, Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, express themselves across the region’s rich maze of villages and terroirs.
Claire is the Private Wine Advisor for Château de Pommard in Southwestern United States. She is French-Italian and grew up moving around frequently, especially in Latin America: she lived in Chile, Argentina and Costa Rica. She started her wine education journey in Paris and continued in Los Angeles, where she moved in 2016 to create a private tasting business focused on wine education. She holds the WSET 3 certification and the French Wine Scholar Certification.
