What connects Burgundy with Saumur? What links Champagne to the white cliffs of Dover?The Paris Basin! 75 million years' worth of shallow tropical seas swum by plesiosaurs and full of star-shaped protists living their lives and falling to ancient seabeds.
Today, the Paris Basin is a giant limestone bowl home to some of the world's most celebrated wine regions. We'll use these rocks as a lens to drink in and around Sancerre and Chablis, the Côte d'Or and Champagne, and learn how geology can shape our understanding of the wine in our glass.
