The Cellar Master
An exciting wine profession : the cellar master
It is said of him that he is the master of taste! The cellar master is the wine specialist and must guarantee its quality. For this, in close collaboration with the oenologist, he supervises the entire winemaking process upon receipt of the harvest. He also manages the cellar. He is also called cellar master or cellar master.
Wine cab invites you to discover this fascinating wine profession. A 4-hour workshop takes you on the roads of the Médoc, to meet a professional. It’s a participatory experience so you’ll get your hands dirty… more like assembly!
After visiting the family estate, step into the shoes of the cellar master. Start by tasting the different grape varieties in order to fully understand their specificity and their contribution to the composition of Bordeaux wines. The exercise will then consist in creating your own cuvée by subtly assembling 2 or 3 main grape varieties among Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Petit-Verdot.
This workshop, placed under the sign of pleasure above all, will make you discover the art of blending, the marriages of aromas, textures and flavors… It is your personality that will reveal itself! A beautiful program in perspective!
