An evening that will never be repeated

Dishes are served on large silver trays. You taste the food, chat with others, and move from the living rooms to the gardens. The kitchen remains open: you can go in to watch the chefs at work and talk with them during service.

Over the course of the event, guest chefs come to cook with the estate’s produce, with the help and support of Louis-Dominique and Patrick Duler.

Winemakers and representatives from wine houses select the pairings with the dishes and serve you their wines themselves.

Next Event: Saturday, October 24, 2026, at 8:00 p.m.

The dishes are decided on the spot

The guest chef discovers the produce on the day or the day before.

Patrick Duler sets a simple rule:
“I don’t ask the chef to arrive with a menu. I ask him first to see what the Domaine has provided, and sometimes what it has refused to yield.
Enthen, we cook.”

During the day, the chef, Louis-Dominique, and Patrick taste the produce, exchange ideas, and begin to cook.

“Even my seasoned taste buds will remember this for a long time.”
Fabienne S.

You move freely between the kitchen, the drawing rooms, and the gardens

Les Nuits de Saint-Géry are not organized like a conventional dinner.
Dishes are prepared in individual portions, complete with cutlery, on large silver platters that circulate among the guests.

You take a portion, you taste, and then the next tray arrives.

The meal is primarily served standing up. Seating is available if you'd like to sit down.

There are no assigned tables or seats: you can switch seats between courses.

The kitchen remains open throughout the evening.

You see the preparation, the final seasoning and the adjustments of the service.
You speak directly with the chefs in the heat of the action.

“I didn’t expect to see people who didn’t know each other at the start of the evening talking together like that.” JMP

During service, guests enter the kitchen to see the final seasoning before the platters go out.
With chef Christophe Saintagne, Ducasse-Baccarat, 31 January 2026

This freedom is possible because each Nuit is limited to 35 guests.
Enough to give the evening momentum.
Not enough to make the chefs, winemakers, or musicians feel distant.


The wines

The wines remain available throughout the evening. They are included in the price of the Nuit, as are the other beverages.

In November 2025, Gérard Boudot from Domaine Étienne Sauzet notably served two magnums of Montrachet Grand Cru.
In January 2026, Charles Perrin brought seven cuvées and vintages from Château de Beaucastel to accompany the truffle and the cuisine of Christophe Saintagne.

Sometimes, the guests sing.
Some evenings end with four hands at the piano.

Certain editions were centered on the black truffle.

Others centered around the summer vegetable garden, lamb from the truffle orchards, medieval cuisine, or wines from Alsace, Burgundy, Corsica, Armenia or the Rhône Valley.

But none have ever been repeated.

Recent Nuits de Saint-Géry

Each Nuit de Saint-Géry is born from the produce available at the Domaine, the wines brought by the winemakers
and the vision of the chefs present.
Nothing is repeated, nothing is entirely planned.

Here is a list of previous evenings; each represents a menu, a moment that could only happen once:

22 August 2026: The menu changed until the last moment

Sarah Mainguy, Freia · Romain Perrollaz · Jean-Luc Baldès, Clos Triguedina · ODE Trio

After about a year and a half without cooking together, Sarah Mainguy and Romain Perrollaz reunited at Domaine
to create the evening menu using ingredients from the vegetable garden and the cellars.
Their initial ideas continued to evolve as the day went on.
For dessert, Sarah and Romain ultimately decided not to choose just one: they served three.

Biodynamic Crozes-Hermitage from David Reynaud and three Bollinger cuvées accompanied this cuisine, decided on the spot.
