The 18th edition of the Grands Jours de Bourgogne is fast approaching. From March 9 to 13, Bourgogne’s winegrowers and négociants will welcome more than 2,000 professionals from around the world (retailers, sommeliers, restaurateurs, importers, distributors, journalists, and others) for a deep dive into the region’s terroirs and diversity.

Organized every two years for over 30 years, this event remains one of the most highly anticipated gatherings in the sector. In a tense economic and political climate, visitors are seeking strong, clearly defined, and sustainable appellations.
Bourgogne benefits from an image of quality, rarity, and authenticity that reassures markets. This event positions its wines not in terms of volume, but in terms of value and diversity.
