Domaine François Raveneau Dinner (Sold Out) with winemaker Maxime Raveneau
La Paulée NYC opens exactly the way Burgundy obsessives want it to: Raveneau, poured by winemaker Maxime Raveneau, in a room built for brine, citrus, and chalky minerality. This dinner is designed as a four-vintage walk through Chablis at its most serious: 2021, 2014, 2002, and a true mic-drop finish: 1998 Grands Crus.
What makes this special isn’t just the producer (though, yes it’s Raveneau). It’s the way the lineup is structured: you get the tension and line of the newer years, then move into mature depth where Chablis becomes more about texture, savory complexity, and that “oyster shell” imprint that feels like it’s been carved into the wine. And because these bottles are being pulled directly from the domaine’s cellars, you’re tasting the wines the way they were meant to show.
The pairing is equally intentional. Smithereens in the East Village is New England seafood through a modern NYC lens. Smithereens has the kind of menu that makes Chablis feel inevitable. Add in the fact that the wine director is Nikita Malhotra (La Paulée’s own), and it’s the perfect “first-night energy”: intimate, dialed-in, and quietly electric.

Domaine Génot-Boulanger Lunch with winemaker & proprietor Guillaume Lavollée
If Raveneau is the opening salvo, Génot-Boulanger at Locanda Verde is the moment La Paulée NYC turns into a full-on Burgundy tour. This lunch starts with Puligny precision, Meursault depth, then a leap to Corton-Charlemagne (in magnum), and finally the gravitas of Clos Vougeot to bring it home.
The lunch is hosted by winemaker Guillaume Lavollée, and the lineup reads like a well-designed curriculum: three vintages of Puligny-Montrachet “Les Nosroyes” to show how Puligny shifts year to year; then Meursault 1er Cru Les Bouchères poured from magnums (2015 / 2013 / 2011), where bottle age and large format start to change the conversation. More breadth, more texture, more slow-blooming complexity.
And then there’s the flex: Corton-Charlemagne across 2015 / 2014 / 2009, all in magnum. This is a rare chance to compare power, structure, and evolution in one of Burgundy’s most iconic white Grand Crus. The finish brings you back to red Burgundy’s cathedral: Clos Vougeot Grand Cru (2015 / 2012 / 2010), giving the lunch a satisfying “Côte de Beaune → Côte de Nuits” arc.
Set inside Locanda Verde Hudson Yards, the vibe is ideal for a midday deep-dive: bustling, warm, and food-forward — exactly what you want when the wines span both razor-edged whites and Grand Cru reds.

Domaine Georges Roumier Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru “Les Amoureuses” Dinner
Treasures from the cellar of noted collector Christian Canalès
This dinner is any burghound’s dream: a dinner built around Les Amoureuses, a Premier Cru that lives in rarified air — famously one of Chambolle-Musigny’s top sites, and for many collectors, spiritually “Grand Cru” in everything but name. La Paulée is leaning fully into that mythos here, assembling a lineup that spans modern greatness and mature transcendence.
The bottles are sourced from the pristine cellar of Christian Canalès, with an “impossibly rare” magnum pulled from Daniel Johnnes’ own collection — and the event notes that the wines were bought upon release and stored carefully since purchase. There’s also one important note upfront: no winemaker will be present. This is about the wines themselves, the vintage-to-vintage story, and what happens when a legendary terroir meets a legendary hand.
The pacing is pure collector fantasy: a white Grand Cru opener (Corton-Charlemagne 2009) to set the table, then a multi-decade walk through Amoureuses, finishing with the older, larger-format bottle that tends to be the moment everyone talks about afterward.
All of this lands at Marea, right on Central Park South, with a tailored menu built for high-toned Pinot Noir — the kind of setting where the room feels like New York at its most “La Paulée.”

New York City Verticals Tasting
Three-vintage verticals from Burgundy’s best producers at Sky Loft, 50 Hudson Yards
The Verticals Tasting is La Paulée’s most addictive format: three vintages, same wine, same producer — a clean, immediate way to understand what “vintage variation” actually tastes like. And in 2026 it’s staged at Sky Loft in Hudson Yards, with sweeping skyline views that make the whole morning feel elevated (literally and figuratively).
La Paulée puts it best: there’s no better way to explore the nuances of different Burgundian vintages — and doing it with the growers who farmed the grapes and crafted the wine is what makes this event feel both intimate and educational, even in a walk-around setting. A few standout verticals to build your “first lap” around the room:
Producer | Three-vintage vertical highlight |
Domaine Arlaud | Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Aux Combottes (2016 / 2015 / 2010) |
Domaine Dugat-Py | Mazoyères-Chambertin Grand Cru (2022 / 2015 / 2007) |
Domaine Duroché | Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Estournelles-Saint-Jacques (2017 / 2014 / 2011) |
Domaine William Fèvre | Chablis GC Bougros “Côte Bouguerots” (2014 / 2012 / 2010) |
Domaine Fourrier | Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Cherbaudes (2019 / 2018 / 2017) |
Location: Sky Loft – 50 Hudson Yards, New York, NY 10001
Time: 10:00 AM – 1:00 PM ET

Domaine Duroché Dinner (Sold Out)
An evening with Pierre & Marianne Duroché — Chef Daniel Boulud
This dinner is why people fall in love with Gevrey-Chambertin all over again. Domaine Duroché’s story begins in 1933, but the modern era is unmistakably Pierre: he joined his father in 2003 and took over entirely in 2005, and today he and his wife Marianne farm just over 8 hectares and produce wines known for their precision and elegance. (Fun detail: they’re also both accomplished rock climbers.)
The night is built around the beating heart of the domaine: Lavaut Saint-Jacques, sitting at the mouth of the Combe de Lavaut — an ideal site for intensity without heaviness. You’ll taste the terroir through multiple lenses, including the wildly rare Vieilles Vignes cuvée from a parcel planted in 1923 (so limited it’s often just one or two barrels in a year). The lineup also reaches back for perspective: 1989 and 1970 Lavaut Saint-Jacques, poured to show just how long this place can run.
And then there’s the format: this is a magnum-and-jeroboam dinner, with big formats across 2019 and 2017/2016 premier crus, plus Chambertin-Clos de Bèze in jeroboam. It’s a serious Burgundy experience — paired with a tasting menu from Chef Daniel Boulud in the restaurant that’s basically synonymous with high-end wine nights on the Upper East Side.
(This event is listed as exclusively for Amex Platinum and Centurion members.)

Château de la Tour Seminar: The Beating Heart of Clos Vougeot - A seminar with sixth-generation winemaker Edouard Labet (SOLD OUT)
Clos Vougeot is one of Burgundy’s most storied walled vineyards — founded by Cistercian monks in the 12th century, then reshaped over centuries into the Grand Cru patchwork we know today. This seminar is built to demystify it, guided by Edouard Labet, and anchored by the domaine that still defines Clos Vougeot in the modern era: Château de la Tour, the vineyard’s largest landholder (farming nearly twelve percent).
The seminar lineup is designed to show you “Clos Vougeot through the lens of Château de la Tour,” including multiple versions of their wines — from the classic bottling to the more rarefied cuvées — and, most importantly, Vieilles Vignes sourced from vines planted more than a century ago. This is the kind of hour that turns Clos Vougeot from a famous name into something you can actually read in the glass.

Terroirs of Chassagne-Montrachet Seminar (Exclusively for American Express Platinum Card® and Centurion® Members) with Alex Moreau, Antonin Pillot, and Simon Colin (SOLD OUT)
Chassagne-Montrachet is often introduced as one of Burgundy’s great white villages — but the people who love Chassagne the most usually love it for its two-sided personality: profound whites and a real red-wine history that can surprise even experienced Burgundy drinkers. This seminar is built around that idea, with three of the village’s brightest stars — Alex Moreau, Simon Colin, and Antonin Pillot — each presenting a red and a white from different parts of the appellation to paint a complete picture of Chassagne’s range.

New York City Grand Tasting
Taste the 2023 Burgundy vintage with winemakers + NYC bites at Pier Sixty
The Grand Tasting is La Paulée’s Saturday centerpiece — and in NYC, it hits differently. Held at Pier Sixty overlooking the Hudson, it’s a rare chance to taste the 2023 vintage across dozens of top domaines in one room, while actually meeting the people who made the wines. La Paulée’s note is straightforward: over 100 wines will be poured, plus food from notable NYC restaurants and purveyors to keep you sharp as you taste.
The smartest way to approach this tasting is to pick a “mission” for the day. Maybe it’s Chablis vs. Côte de Beaune whites. Maybe it’s Gevrey across different producers. Or maybe it’s simply tasting the 2023 vintage as broadly as possible — village through Grand Cru — while taking notes on what you’d actually want to chase down later.
A few pours that tend to draw crowds (examples from the published list):
Domaine Arlaud (including Clos de la Roche Grand Cru 2023)
Domaine Dugat-Py (including Mazoyères-Chambertin GC 2023 and Corton-Charlemagne GC 2023)
Domaine Duroché (including Charmes-Chambertin GC 2023)
Domaine William Fèvre (including Chablis Grands Crus 2023)
Domaine Fourrier (including Clos Saint Jacques 2023)

Price: $495 + tax
New York City Gala Dinner
Champagne Delamotte Reception + chef collaboration + the legendary bottle-sharing tradition
La Paulée’s Gala Dinner is the event that gives the festival its legend. It starts with a Champagne Delamotte reception at Pier Sixty, then rolls into a chef-collab menu featuring Daniel Boulud, Joshua Pinsky, Melissa Rodriguez, and Stefano Secchi.
But the real magic is what happens around the tables. In the spirit of La Paulée de Meursault, guests are invited to bring “treasures” from their own cellars and share them alongside wines poured by attending winemakers. That turns the room into the best kind of chaos: bottles opening everywhere, pours being traded across tables, new friendships forming over a shared glass of something you never expected to taste in public.
Dress code note: La Paulée states daytime events are business casual, while nighttime events lean business/cocktail attire.
Location: Pier Sixty – 60 Chelsea Piers, New York, NY 10011
Time: 6:30 PM Champagne Delamotte Reception
Price: $1,600 + tax
