Burgundy's Viticultural Revolution Masterclass 

Contemporary Burgundy is witnessing a viticultural revolution of impressive proportions, as many of the region's best producers rethink the fundamentals of canopy management, planting density, vine genetics and soil cultivation-with profound consequences for wine quality. Rather than focusing on any single appellation, vintage or producer, this tasting takes this viticultural revolution as its theme, ranging all the way from the Mâconnais to the Côte de Nuits, from communal appellations to grands crus. What all the producers featured in this tasting have in common is an innovative approach to viticulture that marks them out as leaders in Burgundy today. Robert Parker Wine Advocate's William Kelley, explains the basics of viticulture and why it matters today-and why it will matter even more in the future. And he'll be joined by Santenay winegrowing pioneer Jean-Marc Vincent, who'll offer personal insights from a career of innovation spanning more than two decades.
