The board of directors of the Grands Jours de Bourgogne took the decision to reschedule the 2020 edition for 15-19 March 2021. The 2020 edition had been suspended due to the Covid-19 pandemic.

Bourgogne is at the heart of the upcoming movie Uncorked, with Domaine Long-Depaquit, property of Albert Bichot, which is released on Netflix on March 27.

The Domaine des Chaumes obtains the level 3 of the Haute Valeur Environnementale certification for its more eco-friendly practices. 

The Domaine Séguinot-Bordet promotes its vineyards thanks to a presentation film and gives itself a greater visibility.
