"Great wines, great mustards, powerful flavours"
Press release
Hospices de Beaune Wine Auction special
An exclusive tasting at Bouchard Aîné & Fils in Beaune :
« Great wines, Great mustards, powerful flavours ! »
Bouchard Aîné & Fils are innovating once again this year, with an original tasting in partnership with mustard producer Fallot to celebrate the 155th Hospices de Beaune wine auction on Saturday 14 and Sunday 15 November 2015.
Wine and mustard – an unnatural pairing, one might think. However, a partnership between Bouchard Aîné & Fils and another great Beaune producer, the Moutarderie Fallot, has resulted in some delectable food and wine combinations to tempt the taste buds. And you can discover them during the weekend of the Hospices de Beaune wine auction, which typically sees some of our best bottles brought out from the cellars.
From grapes to grain...
It’s a little-known fact but these two fruits of the Burgundy terroir – mustard and grapes – have a shared history because without vines, mustard would have never become a local tradition. In the mid-nineteenth century, the vinegar in mustard was substituted with verjus or white wine to create the traditional Dijon version. So join us to find out what happens when grape meets mustard seed in the hands of Bouchard Aîné & Fils.
For the occasion, visitors will enjoy a special double deal: attendees at the Bouchard Aîné & Fils tasting will receive a gift from the Moutarderie Fallot and those who attend Fallot will benefit from a discount at Bouchard Aîné & Fils*.
