News of the vineyard16/06/2025
On January 24th and 25th, 2026, the great Burgundian Wine Festival returns to the lands of the Maranges AOC, the southernmost Village appellation of the Côte de Beaune!
This warm and authentic vineyard encompasses 3 wine-producing villages: Cheilly-lès-Maranges, Dezize-lès-Maranges, and Sampigny-lès-Maranges. A rare event for an AOC, and despite its youth - it was only established in 1989 - this will be the second time the Saint-Vincent Tournante is held in Maranges, following a successful first edition in 1997.
Nearly 30 years later, a new generation has taken the reins and is eager to proudly present the wines of this unique terroir rooted at the southern tip of the famed Route des Grands Crus.
If there's one traditional wine festival that can't be missed in Bourgogne it's the Saint-Vincent Tournante !
Every year at the end of January, we celebrate Saint Vincent, the patron saint of winegrowers and protector of vineyard workers. Saint Vincent has been celebrated since 1938. The first Saint- Vincent Tournante celebration took place on the 22nd of January 1938, created on the initiative of the Confrérie des Chevaliers du Tastevin. Originally a religious event, Saint-Vincent Tournante is a celebration of the mutual aid and solidarity of winegrowers organised within the Mutuel Aid Societies of all the villages.
Every year at the end of January a Saint-Vincent Society welcomes all the other societies in Bourgogne to its territory. During the weekend the host village or villages are decorated for this festive event. Winegrowers, locals and volunteers pool their skills and give their time to organise two days of festivities in their villages and welcome up to 100,000 visitors, wine lovers and connoisseurs…
A unifying, convivial moment to share!
A programme of commemorations and tributes is strictly defined with the support of the Confrérie des Chevaliers du Tastevin:
These are just some of the highlights to delight the many visitors, not forgetting the opening of the the tasting cellars to give visitors a chance to appreciate the typical characteristics of the wines of the appellation that are honoured on its terroir.
President of the Saint-Vincent Tournante Maranges 2026 organizing committee:
"The Maranges AOC terroir remains relatively unknown within the Côte de Beaune. And yet, we are the southern gateway to this legendary wine region, with a distinct identity that is our strength. Geologically, we are located between two geological faults, at a higher altitude than the rest of the Côte. Our vines sit atop a network of underground and surface watercourses that bring natural freshness.
Our AOC primarily produces red wines from Bourgogne's signature grape, Pinot Noir, and boasts seven Premiers Crus. We also produce a growing number of white wines made from Chardonnay. With this major wine festival, we hope to shine a light on the identity of Maranges wines and keep the spirit of solidarity alive among our villages."
What could be more emblematic of a Saint-Vincent Tournante than its poster?
This edition is no exception. Creating a strong visual identity was a meaningful challenge for the organizers. To achieve this, a competition open to amateur and professional artists was launched, fostering a wave of creative energy around the project. [...]

Spotlight on the collective cuvees
These special cuvées are highly symbolic, unique, and ephemeral. They embody the founding spirit of mutual aid societies, highlighting producers and terroirs as a whole, without focusing on individual estates. [...]
