EXPERIENCES & EVENTS

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.

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.

Next month, we invite 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 will open 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 will be 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.

Next month, a small circle of Melchior members will gather 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 will open 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 are honored to welcome Édouard Vauthier, co-owner of the estate, who will guide us through the soul of Ausone: its history, its terroir, its uncompromising philosophy, and the timeless beauty of its vintages.

This private dinner will be 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.

Next Spring, 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 April, 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.

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 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.
