Its abbey church, built in the mid-12^thcentury, is the largest Cistercian building preserved from the Middle Ages. The church is unique in both its size and architecture, with its early use of ribbed vaults in the nave. It bears witness to the transition from Romanesque to Gothic art; the latter beautifully illustrated by the construction of a new Gothic choir in around 1180. It houses the relics of Saint Edmond, Archbishop of Canterbury, who was buried there in 1240. A true place of serenity…

The people you meet like @nathalie_taburel are what makes travel so much fun. People who put their heart and soul into what they do—We had a really amazing visit in #gevreychambertin . We had so much fun we didn’t want to leave— @secretwinetour did a phenomenal job! .

A BIG THANK YOU to @secretwinetour for making or time in #Burgundy so memorable. If you want to go to Burgundy to taste the wine and experience the culture of wine making, the you must reach out to Nathalie. Anyone can taste wine in a shop in Beaune with 80 other people crammed in a small room. But with Nathalie's help we went to private caves, tasted wine from barrels, opened 20 year old bottles and got the full understanding of what an 8th generation wine maker feels for the vines of his ancestors. What an experience, it was the perfect trip!

Nathalie's knowledge and friendliness was incredible. The visits to the three family wine states far surpassed my high expectations.

Great tour guide with clearly a superb knowledge of wines in the region.

This is not just a driver showing up to drop you off at a winery like with other "tours". In this case we had a driver AND Nathalie with us the entire way which was phenomenal. Because Nathalie is with you the entire way, we had a built in interpreter and Burgundy insider help us to understand what we just tasted and what was coming next. We specifically asked for small producers and personal tours in order to meet wine makers and learn their family's story. She delivered!!! This service is more than just a wine tasting, because she set us up with hotel reservations (Le Cep is phenomenal), lunch plans and a reservation at the hottest restaurant in Beaune that has just 20 seats. The absolute professionalism of Nathalie and her team is second to none and the best I've experience. She has set the bar at a new height for our next tour!
