Domaine Loubet-Dewailly’s Discovery session uses a horizontal tasting to compare Pinot Noir across the Côte de Beaune. Burgundy red, Maranges, Beaune Premier Cru Les Epenottes and Pommard Premier Cru Les Grands Epenots are placed side by side, keeping the grape and harvest consistent while the appellations change. That structure directs attention toward differences between neighbouring terroirs while minimizing the effects created by bottle age. Five generations of family winegrowing inform the comparison, served at the domaine’s cellar near Beaune’s Hospices and Collégiale Notre-Dame. Guests can order other estate wines by the glass, while gougères, charcuterie, cheese or aligot provide regional accompaniments. The central exercise remains a close reading of red Burgundy through place, with each neighbouring appellation given room to show its own character.

Domaine Besancenot draws on six generations of Beaune winemaking for a tasting of two white and four red wines. Chorey-les-Beaune and Beaune Premier Cru Les Cent Vignes feature among the whites, with Clos du Roi and Grèves among the reds. Each tasting includes gougères and an engraved glass, pairing the estate’s Burgundian wines with a regional cheese pastry.

Maison Louis Jadot marks the Hospices de Beaune wine sale with a visit to its winery and ageing cellars. A tasting of ten wines follows, organised around three themes. The selection brings together the vintage currently maturing, a Hospices de Beaune cuvée and several house classics, keeping the cellar visit closely connected to the wines in the glass.

Domaine Loubet-Dewailly brings five generations of Côte de Beaune winegrowing to a guided comparison of two named climats. Estate winemakers present Puligny-Montrachet Les Champs Gains beside Meursault Clos Saint Philibert, using several vintages to examine how site and cellar work shape a single grape variety. The vertical format encourages close attention to differences between the two appellations without separating them from the domaine’s broader range. Tastings take place in the producer’s cellar in Beaune’s historic centre, between the Hospices and the Collégiale Notre-Dame.

Maison Louis Jadot marks the Vente des Vins des Hospices de Beaune with a visit to its winery and ageing cellars. A tasting of ten wines follows the cellar tour. The programme continues with dinner at the Couvent des Jacobins, where mature vintages are served; the visit, tasting and meal are all part of the same offer.

Domaine Loubet-Dewailly’s Prestige session examines Volnay Premier Cru Le Clos des Chênes through a vertical tasting of five vintages. Because every glass comes from the same climat and the same Pinot Noir grape, participants can concentrate on how successive harvests express one Côte de Beaune site. Five generations of Loubet-Dewailly winegrowers provide the cellar context for reading this appellation over time. The domaine stands close to the Hospices and Collégiale Notre-Dame, placing the focused comparison inside Beaune’s historic wine-sale quarter. Visitors can also explore other estate appellations by the glass, while regional foods such as gougères extend the visit into Burgundy’s table culture. The Prestige format keeps one celebrated Volnay climat at the centre of that broader hospitality.
