Insider tip
Book cellars directly with specific producers weeks ahead—the rotating host village announcement happens in October, and premier cru domaines fill their tasting slots by November. Attend the morning church blessing ceremony to access the most serious collectors' tastings in village cellars before tourist crowds arrive at noon.
