- The visit
- Book through the house. The most realistic first tasting.
How this place works
Domaines are houses, not tasting rooms. Write the négociants (Drouhin, Jadot, Bouchard) if you need a door that opens. Beaune is the base. Don't expect a flight of Grands Crus for a fee on a Saturday.
Best window: May–June and September. November is grey and half-shut. Hospices weekend is not a casual visit.

Beaune, then one Côte
2 days
Sleep in Beaune. One négociant cellar. One drive — Côte de Beaune villages or Côte de Nuits, not both in a day.
