FRIDAY 23/5

Begin your weekend with a private visit and tasting in a Burgundian cellar, hosted by a winemaker from one of our winery partners. In the evening, we’ll gather all sponsors, artists, winemakers, and friends at Maison Chanzy for a private party. The meal, prepared by Hendry Angwe Mezah, sous-chef to Yannick Alléno, alongside Chef Romain Versino from Restaurant COMO Le Montrachet, will be accompanied by a private jazz concert and caviar from Maison Prunier. The dinner will be Paulée style, a convivial post-harvest Burgundian tradition where everyone brings bottles to share with fellow guests. It’s the perfect opportunity to share rare bottles and engage with local winemakers.

SATURDAY 24/5

Montrachet Jazz opens the doors to its inaugural edition! Inspired by the atmosphere of an open-air jazz club, guests will have the opportunity to enjoy a series of tastings while listening to live performances. A special bar will feature a curated wine list for the occasion, along with a selection of local and international food stands. Just a short walk from the main square, a VIP lounge at Maison Chanzy will be open throughout the weekend. In the evening, three to four acts will take to the main stage, showcasing a diverse range of jazz styles.

SUNDAY 25/5

On Mother’s Day Sunday, we’ll welcome three new bands to the stage, each playing a different style of jazz. Five new wineries will also be pouring their wines in the main square. Guests can enjoy a brunch menu created by our food stand chefs, purchase bottles at the bar, and relax in the VIP lounge at Maison Chanzy and it’s garden.
