The Musicales bring chamber music to the southern Côte Chalonnaise at the end of each summer, in village churches, a wine estate and Buxy's own venues. After nearly every concert a local domaine pours its wine for the audience. ## Key facts - Type: Music - Buxy - 50 min from Beaune - When: Late August, over about six days.

The anniversary programme ran from sacred choral music in Saint-Gengoux-le-National to a symphonic concert with the Winterthur Symphony Orchestra in Chalon's Saint-Vincent cathedral. ## What to expect Concerts start in the early evening in places such as the churches of Buxy and Saint-Boil, the Cary Potet greenhouse and the Maison Millebuis of the Buxy growers' cooperative. Tastings are offered by partner estates of Montagny and the surrounding villages, so music and wine are served in the same evening. ## Tips for the day Tickets are sold online, at around 18 euros for a standard concert in 2026, with reductions for several concerts. Venues are spread across small villages, and Buxy is about 45 minutes from Beaune, so being driven between concert and home after the tasting makes sense. ## Did you know? In 2026 almost every concert ended with a free tasting offered by a partner estate or the Buxy growers' cooperative. ## Around Musicales en Côte Chalonnaise What to combine with Musicales en Côte Chalonnaise on the same day, nearest first. ### Other events in August 2027 - **Runs Tuesday 25 May – Tuesday 31 August 2027** · [Les Vin’dredis de la Halle](https://www.cote-privee.com/events/vindredis-halle-chambertin): Summer Friday tastings and gourmet evenings at the Halle Chambertin in Gevrey.
