Classical music festival in the heart of Burgundy's wine heritage sites
The Festival Musique & Vin au Clos Vougeot is a classical music festival founded in 2009 that brings together internationally renowned musicians every late June at the Château du Clos de Vougeot and in the heritage sites of the Côte-d'Or. The event creates a unique fusion between great classical performers and Burgundy winemakers, offering concerts followed by tastings of great vintages in exceptional historical settings.
Founded in 2009, the Festival Musique & Vin au Clos Vougeot was born from the conviction that music and wine share common values: excellence, transmission, and terroir. Every late June, for a week, the festival takes over the most beautiful heritage sites of the Côte-d'Or — the Château du Clos de Vougeot, the Abbaye de Saint-Vivant, and other historic locations — for classical music concerts followed by tastings of great Burgundy wines.
The festival's programming features internationally renowned soloists and ensembles: virtuoso pianists, prestigious string quartets, opera singers, and chamber orchestras. The 2025 edition featured the piano with three great soloists. The festival relies on its own instrumental fund, enriched each year, which allows artists to access exceptional instruments.
The Château du Clos de Vougeot, a 12th-century Cistercian monument, is the main venue for the festival. Its medieval cellars and wine vat room offer remarkable natural acoustics for concerts. The Abbaye de Saint-Vivant, another jewel of Burgundy's heritage, also hosts concerts in a setting imbued with spirituality and serenity.
Each concert is followed by a tasting of great Burgundy vintages offered by the festival's partner winemakers. This unique formula allows festival-goers to extend the musical emotion by discovering the greatest Burgundy terroirs, in an atmosphere of sharing and conviviality.
