Château Margaux
Château Margaux is one of the most famous vineyards in the world. While its reputation primarily stems from the quality of its wine, its splendid estate also adds a certain prestige. Built between 1810 and 1815 by Louis Combes, the château, in Neo-Palladian style, is classified as a historic monument. The magnificent vineyard itself covers approximately 100 hectares of the estate.
Château de Santenay
The Santenay estate is one of the largest in Burgundy, with its 98 hectares of vineyards primarily cultivating the two traditional Burgundy grape varieties (Chardonnay and Pinot Noir). Located 25 kilometers from Beaune, it features a lordly residence topped with traditional glazed tiles typical of the region. This magnificent château, also known as Château Philippe le Hardi, was built in the 9th century.
Château de la Chaize
Located on the Beaujolais Mountains, Château de la Chaize is the largest vineyard in the region (250 hectares, of which 99 are dedicated to vines). Classified as a historic monument, it boasts magnificent gardens that were designed by André Le Nôtre, the king's gardener. A must-visit estate if you find yourself in the region.
Château de Bagnols
Château de Bagnols is considered by experts to be one of the most beautiful 5-star châteaux in France. An ancient 13th-century fortress, it now features a renowned vineyard recognized throughout the country. Its period architecture and characteristic elements (moats, golden stones, defensive towers) give it a unique charm in the heart of the Beaujolais vineyard.
Château du Tertre
This magnificent château overlooks a 52-hectare vineyard that highlights the Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot grape varieties. Built in the 18th century, the building combines charm and elegance, and its ancient estate offers superb gardens and a peaceful and relaxing setting.
