Domaine du Cellier aux Moines: A Contemporary Lens on Historic Burgundy

Join us for a focused exploration of Domaine du Cellier aux Moines, one of Burgundy’s most historically rooted yet dynamically evolving estates. Originally established in 1130 by the Cistercian monks of La Ferté, the domaine’s identity is anchored by its monopole Clos du Cellier aux Moines in Givry - a site that remains a rare and intact expression of monastic viticulture in the Côte Chalonnaise.

Since its acquisition by Philippe and Catherine Pascal in 2004, the estate has undergone a deeply considered transformation. Working with a philosophy centered on precision and transparency, Cellier aux Moines has embraced organic and biodynamic farming alongside a rigorously detailed approach in the cellar, including gravity-flow vinification and parcel-by-parcel élevage to articulate site-specific nuance.

Today, the domaine spans a thoughtfully assembled range of holdings across both the Côte Chalonnaise and Côte de Beaune,including Premier Cru sites in Puligny-Montrachet, Chassagne-Montrachet, Volnay, and Santenay, offering wines that balance classical structure with a distinctly modern clarity. This tasting will provide an opportunity to engage with the estate’s evolving style and its increasingly serious position within the broader landscape of contemporary Burgundy.
