Maison du Four Bassot

A literal postcard in the heart of the vineyards! Authentic 17th-century winegrower's house - steeped in history & fully restored - nestled on a family winegrowing estate in a picturesque & charming little village typical of the Côtes Chalonnaises, 6 km from Mercurey (& its famous AOC). Magnificent rolling countryside of vines, meadows and wooded hills, bordering a protected natural site classified as a "Natura 2000 Zone", in the heart of the sumptuous Vaux Valley (nicknamed "Little Switzerland of the Chalonnaise"), dotted with splendid nature trails, on the Romanesque churches & wine route, 7 km from a referenced "Coup de cœur" cycling loop and 9 km from the "voie verte" (connected to EuroVélo6) & the famous Canal du Centre ("Le Fleuve tranquille", a navigable route to discover on a boat trip or on foot). Prime location at the crossroads of the Couchois region, in the immediate vicinity of the world-renowned Côtes de Beaune & Hautes Côtes de Beaune vineyards (and the renowned "Route des Grands Crus"), at the crossroads of the Côte d'Or, Pays Beaunois, Bresse Bourguignonne & Autunois regions. An ultra-privileged location: 17 km from Chalon-sur-Saône ("Ville d'Art et d'Histoire"), 26 km from Le Creusot (& its famous Combes amusement park), 31 km from Beaune, 40 km from Autun ("Ville d'Art et d'Histoire"), 43 km from Tournus, 52 km from the famous abbey town of Cluny and 55 km from Louhans (& its illustrious medieval street with 157 arcades!). The ideal holiday for nature and wine lovers!

Tatiana, a painter of Russian origin and Burgundian by adoption (whose studio you can visit nearby) and Sébastien, from a family of winegrowers going back several generations, welcome you to an authentic, fully restored 17th-century winegrower's residence - one of the oldest houses in the village - located on their family wine estate (tours & tasting available). In a residential hamlet nestled in the heart of the vineyards, on the edge of meadows & forest (with Charolais cows as peaceful neighbors!) a stone's throw from the village center. Nestled on a balcony on the slopes of Montabon, a vast wooded hill rising 491 m above sea level facing the magnificent Vallée des Vaux (offering numerous nature walks & exceptional panoramic viewpoints), rich in rare Gallo-Roman remains (tombs, traces of villas, spa...) as well as a more recent heritage (fortified farm, calvaries & washhouses...), this picturesque winegrowing village enjoys a unique location, in the heart of a picture-postcard landscape, between vineyard valleys, meadows and forests.
