7 late wine bars in Burgundy, editor-picked by Cork & Curve. All Burgundy nightlife.
Caves Madeleine ★ 4.7
Beaune · 8 Rue du Faubourg Madeleine, 21200 Beaune, France
Beaune institution on the Faubourg Madeleine, part wine shop part bistro, pouring small-grower Burgundy at communal tables. Reserve ahead.
Tip: Sit at the long shared table and ask the staff to open something off-list by the glass; reservations are essential as the room fills nightly.
Le Bout du Monde ★ 4.4
Beaune · 7 Rue du Faubourg Madeleine, 21200 Beaune, France
A convivial Faubourg Madeleine wine bar open since 1999, pouring Burgundy by the glass with charcuterie and toasts. A classic Beaune warm-up.
Tip: Locals have gathered here since 1999; start the evening with a glass and a charcuterie board before dinner up the street.
La Dilettante ★ 4.5
Beaune · 11 Rue du Faubourg Bretonniere, 21200 Beaune, France
Intimate Beaune wine bar and bottle shop on the Faubourg Bretonniere, with a grower and natural list and matching small plates.
Tip: Ask Laura for a grower wine you would never find on a restaurant list; the small-plates menu is built to follow the glass.
Le Comptoir des Tontons ★ 4.3
Beaune · 22 Rue du Faubourg Madeleine, 21200 Beaune, France
A Faubourg Madeleine bistro with a markedly organic and biodynamic Burgundy list and generous regional cooking.
Tip: Closed Sunday and Monday; the kitchen leans into Burgundian classics, so come hungry and let the somm match a biodynamic red.
Dr Wine ★ 4.5
Dijon · 5 Rue Musette, 21000 Dijon, France
A lively Dijon wine bar by the Halles in a historic mansion, pouring a broad Burgundy by-the-glass list with charcuterie and cheese.
Tip: The terrace beside the covered market is the place to be on a warm evening; the by-the-glass range is one of the widest in the city.
Chez Bruno (Bar a Vins) ★ 4.4
Dijon · 80 Rue Jean Jacques Rousseau, 21000 Dijon, France
A small, much-loved Dijon wine bar where wine lovers gather for a personal grower-led list with cheese and charcuterie.
Tip: The room is small and fills fast; let Bruno pour what is open rather than ordering from a list, and pair with the cheese board.
La Maison du Colombier ★ 4.2
Beaune · 1 Rue Charles Cloutier, 21200 Beaune, France
A wine bar and bistro in a Renaissance house near the Hospices de Beaune, pouring Burgundy by the glass with small plates.
Tip: Steps from the Hotel-Dieu, this is a handy evening stop after a day on the Route des Grands Crus; the medieval cellar is worth a look.
