EXPERIENCES & EVENTS

Next July, a select circle of Melchior members will journey into the heart of Burgundy — a land where precision meets poetry, and where some of the world’s most coveted wines are born from the quiet dialogue between vine, stone, and time.

Over several days, we will enter domaines that have defined the spirit of the Côte d’Or, from the storied slopes of the Côte de Nuits to the graceful contours of the Côte de Beaune - including the distinguished estates of Prieuré Roch, Robert Groffier, Guillaume Boillot, Yann Durieux and more.

Along the way, private tastings and privileged conversations will open rare windows into the philosophy and vision of Burgundy’s most respected vignerons. We’ll walk legendary parcels, explore cellars and learn how each gesture — from the pruning shears to the fermentation vat — shapes the character of wines.

A journey into the soul of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay — and into the heritage of those who devote their lives to revealing their truth.

‍

Next Summer, a select group of Melchior members will set off for Bordeaux, where some of the world’s most storied vineyards reveal their quiet power.
During this journey, we will step inside estates that have shaped the identity of both banks — places where gravel, clay, limestone, and centuries of savoir-faire come together to create wines of extraordinary character.

Throughout the tour, private tastings and intimate conversations will offer a rare glimpse into the philosophy and artistry that guide Bordeaux’s greatest winemakers. We’ll move from iconic chais to peaceful parcels of vines, discovering how each detail — from soil to cellar — contributes to the personality of these remarkable wines.

Next July, a chosen circle of Melchior guests will travel through the lands of Champagne. Beneath the warmth of midsummer, we will explore terrain that transforms mineral layers and long-held traditions into bottles of subtlety.

During this summer escape, we will cross the thresholds of producers whose influence has shaped the character of this northern region, from the wooded plateaus near Reims to the pale, sloping expanses stretching across the Blancs area and the winding Marne valley. Underground, vast chalky corridors stretch like silent cathedrals — spaces molded over ages, where stillness and precision guide the slow evolution of wines resting in the dark.

Throughout our time there, exclusive encounters and guided pourings will reveal the creative approach of Champagne’s creators. We will wander through emblematic plots, descend into cool galleries lined with patiently aging bottles, and observe how each decision — from harvest timing to blending choices — shapes the greatest cuvées.

On June 16th, a group of guests gathered at Le Sixth in New York for an exclusive tasting evening dedicated to Domaine Chandon de Briailles. Over the course of the evening, the wines of this prestigous Burgundy estate took center stage, offering a rare opportunity to explore the full range of the domaine's expression across some of the appellation's most prestigious terroirs.

An evening that brought Burgundy's finest to the heart of Manhattan.

From June 2nd to 4th, a group of guests embarked on an exclusive three-day journey through Bordeaux's most legendary wine estates. The adventure began in Saint-Émilion, where the group settled in for two nights at the elegant Hôtel de Pavie.

Over the following day, the group was welcomed at some of the appellation's most coveted addresses: Château Ausone, with its cellars carved into the limestone cliff, and Château Cheval Blanc, where lunch followed the tasting on the banks of the Saint-Émilion plateau. Evenings were spent discovering the village, with dinners at the two-Michelin-starred La Table de Pavie and at Le Logis de la Cadène. The final day took the group to the Pessac-Léognan appellation, with visits and tastings at Château Les Carmes Haut-Brion and Château La Mission Haut-Brion.

Left bank, right bank - this is the vintage that reminded everyone why these estates matter. 2016 combined the structural backbone of a great Cabernet year with a freshness that kept everything in proportion. The wines are still young, but already saying a great deal.

We gathered at Appetite on 21 May in Singapore to open a selection of bottles from both banks, taste them side by side, and let the conversation follow. No agenda beyond the wines themselves, where they come from, what the year gave them, and where they might still be going.

A focused evening, in good company.

An evening built around two readings of Burgundy that continue to shape the conversation today: Robert Groffier and Camille & Guillaume Boillot.

In Los Angeles, we brought together wines that do not seek to impress, but to express with precision what their terroirs allow. On one side, Groffier, whose parcels in Chambolle-Musigny and Bonnes-Mares have long defined a certain idea of texture and depth in the Côte de Nuits. On the other, Boillot, with a more discreet but equally exacting approach, where Meursault is drawn with tension, clarity and restraint.

What emerges is not a comparison, but a dialogue. Between villages, between vintages, between two visions that share the same commitment to detail and to time.

On April 23rd in Singapore, we will gather for an exceptional evening dedicated to one of Italy’s most iconic estates: Gaja.

Through a thoughtfully paired menu, each wine will reveal a different facet of the Langhe - from the haunting aromatics of Barbaresco to the structured nobility of Barolo. Expect elegance, depth, and the unmistakable signature of a legend.

An evening of heritage, craftsmanship, and timeless Italian greatness.

An evening shaped around a few precise interpretations of terroir, brought together at Nadodi Restaurant.

We have built this dinner as a progression across regions and sensibilities. From the tension and clarity of Meursault by Camille & Guillaume Boillot to the layered depth of Groffier’s Bonnes-Mares, extending into Piedmont with Gaja’s Sperss, each wine carries a distinct relationship to structure, time and place.

The kind of evening where bottles are opened without haste, where each wine finds its place naturally in the rhythm of the table. Conversations move as the wines evolve. There is no script, only a shared attention to what is in the glass, and what it reveals.

At Nadodi, the setting allows for that rare balance. Enough intimacy to listen, enough energy to engage.

Melchior opened 2026 in New York with a private dinner dedicated to our dearest partner, Domaine Prieuré Roch.

A small group of collectors gathered at Bon Restaurant - an intimate setting of rare warmth - to explore a thoughtful selection of the estate’s wines, in a setting that allowed real conversation and attention to detail.

We were fortunate to have Yannick Champ, Co-Managing Director of the domaine, with us that evening. His presence brought clarity to the tasting, offering insight into the estate’s approach - organic and biodynamic viticulture, gentle extraction, and a clear focus on purity of expression.

A strong and meaningful way to open the year.

‍

In October, a small circle of Melchior members gathered in Paris for an evening dedicated to one of the most legendary voices of Saint-Émilion.
In the intimacy of the Michelin-starred Épisodes, in the heart of the 17th arrondissement, we opened a rare selection of bottles from Château Ausone, a domaine where precision, heritage, and quiet mastery have shaped some of the most profound wines of Bordeaux.

We were honored to welcome Édouard Vauthier, co-owner of the estate, who guided us through the soul of Ausone: its history, its terroir, its uncompromising philosophy, and the timeless beauty of its vintages.

This private dinner was a moment suspended in time - an encounter marked by true conversation, shared emotion, and the rare privilege of exploring one of Bordeaux’s greatest wines in the presence of the family who brings it to life.

Last September, we invited a select group of Melchior members to gather in Madrid for an intimate evening dedicated to some of Burgundy’s most singular voices.

In the private cellar of Club Matador, we opened a curated selection of rare bottles from Domaine Robert Groffier, Domaine Prieuré-Roch, and Domaine Bruno Clair - an exclusive tasting designed to highlight the depth, soul, and individuality of these remarkable terroirs.

This private dinner was a moment of true connection: a quiet celebration of craftsmanship, friendship, and the timeless elegance of Burgundy wines, shared around a single table in one of Madrid’s most iconic private clubs.

‍

In November, a small group of Melchior members returned to Burgundy, right after harvest and vinification, and just before the Vente des Vins excitement began.

We visited some of our dearest partners - Domaine Robert Groffier, Domaine Prieuré-Roch, Domaine Henri Gouges, and Yann Durieux (Recrue des Sens) - to taste the new vintages and share moments of true connection.

The journey ended at La Table du Square with a special winemakers’ dinner alongside Thibaud Clerget, Guillaume Boillot, and Arthur Clair. A night celebrating friendship, craftsmanship, and the spirit of Burgundy at its most personal.

‍

Last summer, a small circle of Melchior members embarked on a three-day journey through Bordeaux’s most iconic estates — Ausone, Cheval Blanc, Lafleur, Yquem, Cos d’Estournel, Latour, Mouton Rothschild, Haut-Brion, and La Mission Haut-Brion.

Each visit was unique — private tastings, intimate meals, and warm welcomes that went far beyond the ordinary. We were received as friends, not guests, with an attention that reflected our shared values of authenticity, generosity, and friendship.

An unforgettable celebration of trust and connection — and Bordeaux at its most personal.
