It is both a producer and a négociant that makes and ages wine, working with some 260 hectares of vines from Chablis down to the Mâconnais. The house opened its Meursault caveau in 2018, alongside its tasting cellar in Nuits-Saint-Georges and a shop opposite the Hôtel-Dieu in Beaune. The Meursault site was designed as a place to learn as well as taste, with displays on the climats and on how the Burgundy vineyard came to be. ## What you will see You can simply taste and buy, or book one of the house's formats: introductions to tasting, commented tastings, private tastings of premiers crus and cellar-and-heritage visits, priced from about €10 to €70 per person. Around the Hospices de Beaune wine sale in November, the caveau runs a food-and-wine pairing with six wines, two of them from the Hospices. ## Opening hours and tickets - Opening hours: - 1 April to 31 October: Monday to Saturday, 10:00 to 18:00 - 1 November to 31 March: Monday to Saturday, 10:00 to 17:30 - Booking: Recommended Checked on 8 October 2026 on [beaune-tourisme.fr](https://www.beaune-tourisme.fr/offres/caveau-le-caveau-de-meursault-moillard-meursault-fr-3860764/). ## Planning your visit Allow 45 minutes to an hour and a half.
