Her son André Boyer married Marie-Cécile Martenot, who brought vines in Meursault and Pommard, and Domaine Boyer-Martenot was born of their union. The couple expanded production and began to export. Today the brother and sister Vincent and Sylvie Boyer run the domaine. Vincent makes the wines in the cellar, while Sylvie, who came back in 2018 after years abroad, looks after the vines, which are farmed sustainably with much of the work done by hand. The range runs from regional Bourgogne to premiers crus, in white and red. ## What you will see In the tasting cellar, a presentation of Burgundy's climats goes with a tasting of at least six wines. The commented cellar visit, by appointment, takes you under vaults of Burgundy limestone to see how the wines are aged. The domaine also holds two events a year: the Show Vin on the first Saturday of July, with growers from other French regions and a food market, and Jazz en Cave, with a tasting and a jazz concert in the winery, on the Saturday of the Hospices de Beaune wine sale. ## Planning your visit Allow 45 minutes to an hour. The tasting cellar is open on weekdays all year, with or without an appointment; the cellar visit needs one. The domaine is on the place de l'Europe, at the southern end of the village centre, a short walk from the Église Saint-Nicolas. ## Did you know? The domaine began in 1917 with a young widow, Lucie Boyer, who stopped selling her grapes and started making her own wine. ## Around Domaine Boyer-Martenot What to combine with Domaine Boyer-Martenot on the same day, nearest first. ### Villages - [Meursault](https://www.cote-privee.com/villages/meursault) (1 km away): The great white-wine village of the Côte de Beaune, with a glazed-tile town hall and 19 premiers crus. - [Monthélie](https://www.cote-privee.com/villages/monthelie) (2 km away): A small hillside village between Volnay and Meursault, once compared to a village in Tuscany. - [Auxey-Duresses](https://www.cote-privee.com/villages/auxey-duresses) (2 km away): A quiet valley village of supple reds and bright whites, set between wooded hills west of Meursault. ### Châteaux - [Château de Cîteaux](https://www.cote-privee.com/chateaux/chateau-de-citeaux) (1 km away): A 19th-century château in Meursault, built over the cellars of the monks of Cîteaux. - [Château de Meursault](https://www.cote-privee.com/chateaux/chateau-de-meursault) (1 km away): A wine château with vast vaulted cellars, a walled Chardonnay clos and a forest garden. - [Château fort de Meursault (Hôtel de ville)](https://www.cote-privee.com/chateaux/chateau-fort-de-meursault-hotel-de-ville), 1 km away: Meursault's town hall, a 14th-century castle keep under a bright glazed tile roof. ### Things to do - [Église Saint-Nicolas de Meursault](https://www.cote-privee.com/things-to-do/eglise-saint-nicolas-meursault) (1 km away): Meursault's Gothic church, whose 57-metre stone spire rises above the village and its vineyards. - [Domaine Jean Monnier & Fils](https://www.cote-privee.com/things-to-do/domaine-jean-monnier-et-fils-meursault) (1 km away): A Meursault family estate with roots in 1696 and a tasting cellar on the town hall square. - [Hot-Air Balloon Flights over the Vineyards (Montgolfière au-dessus des vignes)](https://www.cote-privee.com/things-to-do/hot-air-balloon-flights), 1 km away: Float over the Côte at dawn, with villages, châteaux and vineyards laid out below. ### Restaurants - [Auprès du Clocher](https://www.cote-privee.com/restaurants/aupres-du-clocher-pommard) (4 km away · 1 MICHELIN star): Pommard's newly starred table, where the butcher's son cooks beside the church - [Ed.Em](https://www.cote-privee.com/restaurants/ed-em-chassagne-montrachet) (5 km away · 1 MICHELIN star): A starred couple's table in the heart of Montrachet country, with 600 wines to match - [Le Carmin](https://www.cote-privee.com/restaurants/le-carmin-beaune) (7 km away · 1 MICHELIN star): Christophe Quéant's poised, product-first cooking in a Renaissance house on place Carnot ### Events - **Monday, 16 November 2026 (Expected dates, not yet confirmed)** · [La Paulée de Meursault](https://www.cote-privee.com/events/paulee-de-meursault): Burgundy's most generous harvest lunch, where every guest brings their finest bottles.
