Louis Jadot Hospices Cellar Tasting
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.
Bulle à Parfums and Jura Wines
La Bulle à Parfums brings designer fragrances together with Jura wines for Vignobles en Scène in Darbonnay. Its founder, perfume consultant Tiphaine Fougere, previously worked in a Paris perfumery laboratory alongside fragrance creators. Her work centres on identifying individual scent preferences and matching them to rare or designer perfumes.
Loubet-Dewailly Exceptional Tasting
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.
Louis Jadot Hospices Special Evening
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.
Château de Pierreclos Harvest Festival
Château de Pierreclos opens its harvest celebration around the wines and architecture of the historic estate. A sequence of tastings leads visitors from the medieval kitchen to the vaulted cellars, allowing each setting to frame a different part of the château’s wine identity. The selection introduces Mâcon, Saint-Véran, Pouilly-Fuissé, Pouilly-Fuissé Premier Cru and Bourgogne Pinot Noir, showing the range of appellations represented by the property. The route directly joins the building to the bottles and places vineyard work, cellar craft and built heritage in the same visit. Light refreshments are available to accompany the tasting, while the relaxed estate format leaves room to compare the wines and their origins. It is a harvest gathering grounded in Pierreclos and the southern Burgundy vineyard landscape.
Climats Heritage Days in Beaune
A relief map of Burgundy’s vineyards and carved coats of arms open the Salle Vergnette de Lamotte’s wine history to view. At Comblanchien, quarry tours and machinery demonstrations explain stone extraction and its links to the Climats. The Cité des Climats adds guided interpretation, tastings and a photographic walk to this exploration of the wine-growing landscape.
Loubet-Dewailly Volnay Prestige Tasting
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.
Regards sur le Bourbonnais
A joint photography exhibition in Souvigny brings together Claude Néant and Dominique Boutonnet under the title Regards sur le Bourbonnais. The two local artists turn their cameras towards landscapes of the Bourbonnais as well as travels around the world. Admission to the photography exhibition is free of charge.
