Musique au Chambertin brings chamber music to the villages of the Côte de Nuits, from Marsannay to Vosne-Romanée, and pairs concerts with wine tastings. In 2026 it adopted a new format of two weekends, in spring and in autumn, closing with a gourmet cocktail at the Château du Clos de Vougeot. ## Key facts - Type: Music - Gevrey-Chambertin - 32 min from Beaune - When: Long held over five days in late August and early September.

The percussionist Adélaïde Ferrière took over in 2022, and since 2026 the cellist Gauthier Herrmann has led the programme. The association behind it works with nine villages: Marsannay-la-Côte, Couchey, Fixin, Brochon, Gevrey-Chambertin, Morey-Saint-Denis, Chambolle-Musigny, Vougeot and Vosne-Romanée. ## What to expect Concerts range from string quartets and piano duos to tango and French song, in village halls, churches and other heritage venues, with wine tasting part of the festival's spirit. The autumn weekend of 2026 includes a tango and chanson evening in Fixin, a concert in Marsannay and a trio in Vougeot. ## Tips for the day Tickets are sold through the festival and the Gevrey-Chambertin and Nuits-Saint-Georges tourist office; in 2026 a full-price seat cost 25 euros, with free entry for under-18s.
