Le Pressoir

Laurence & Xavier, nature and hiking enthusiasts (who design completely original hiking trails for their guests, starting right from the holiday cottage, to take you off the “beaten path”) welcome you to an authentic, charming 18th-century vineyard outbuilding that has been fully restored (once part of the estate that occupied the site—evidenced by the imposing original “wine press” still standing in the courtyard) nestled in a quiet spot along a narrow lane, in the heart of a picturesque, perfectly preserved little wine-growing village, nestled on a “panoramic balcony” on an east-facing hillside, from which you can see Mont Blanc on clear days. Complete tranquility in a literal postcard landscape, in the heart of the rolling countryside of the Côtes Chalonnaises, nestled within a plateau of Vineyards (the famous “Val d’Or”), on the slopes of a wooded hill protected as a “Natura 2000” site and ZNIEFF (for its rich flora and fauna), with the ruins of the medieval fortress of Montaigu at its summit—built in the 10th century and steeped in history (which played a notable role in the Wars of Religion), overlooking the sublime Vallée des Vaux and the Val de Saône as an extension of the “Montabon” hill, covered by a vast Forest. Warm, rustic charm enhanced by the character of the original structure (stone walls, wooden lintels, beams…). A pleasant, intimate, walled garden (50 m²), planted with trees and shrubs (apple and plum trees) and featuring a slide.
