We’re going to jostle, sing, share, hunt around and taste the new wine from rue Notre-Dame to Place des Chatrons throughout this weekend as we have since 41. We tell you about this event born 41 years ago around a Bourru tasting. At the time²- Jacques Dubourg and Frédérique Astruc imagined this simple event to highlight the activity of the neighborhood’s antique dealers. Antiques, music groups, roasted chestnuts, and a great sense of conviviality. Unchanged ingredients that make the success of this event.
The new wine
Here it is called the bourru or the bouret, it is a lightly fermented grape juice in white or red. It titrates at 4 or 5 degrees. Winemaker Eric Feillon of Feillon Vineyards has accompanied this wine festival for 30 years and he explains that he always reserves a few bunches from his vines to supply the Chartrons New Wine Festival
