Step into a Parisian cellar for a small-group tasting of old-vintage French wines led by Marco, a wine expert whose experience spans from the vineyards of Napa, California, to hosting private tastings in Paris. During this 2-hour session, you'll learn the tasting method used by oenologists and analyse each wine through its appearance, aromas, structure and evolution over time.

The guided tasting lasts around 1.5 hours and focuses on aged wines from past vintages. Marco will introduce each wine step by step, helping you understand how age, grape variety, region and production methods can influence the wine's character.

Depending on availability, the selection may include wines such as Château Smith Haut Lafitte white 1995, Château Calon-Ségur 1981, Corton-Pougets Grand Cru Louis Jadot 1998 and Château Loubens sweet wine 1955.

This experience is designed for wine lovers who want to deepen their understanding of vintage wines in an intimate setting.
