| Located in Burgundy's Côte d'Or, the heart of wine country, and between the cities of Beaune and Dijon, you will find the Château de Chorey. If you've dined in what have been called Paris' best restaurants -- Taillevent, l'Arpège, La Tour d'Argent among others -- or perhaps in the provinces at Troisgros, Restaurant Marc Meneau or La Chevre d'Or, you may have enjoyed a wine or two from Château de Chorey. Set on 42 acres, Domaine du Château de Chorey-les-Beaune invites you to taste its exceptional wines. Their labels can be found on eight red and four white appellations, and a Vieux Marc de Bourgogne, barrel aged for 25 years. François Germain has run the estate since 1969; his son, Benoît joined him in 1993; and in 2001 his daughter, Aude, became part of the team. The estate produces high quality wines, employing traditional vinification methods and allows the wine to age in oak barrels. But, because it is primarily a wine estate, don't assume that the bed and breakfast operation at Château de Chorey is ignored. The château itself has belonged to the same family for generations and has been renovated to a high standard. A variety of buildings combine to make up the estate, offering various examples of Burgundian architecture. The moat and towers date back to the thirteenth century, while the main building is of the seventeenth century. The family happily and warmly welcomes guests to its chambres d'hôtes from Easter until the beginning of November. Five beautifully decorated guest rooms and a small family suite, all with private baths and telephones, are furnished in a simple and refined manner, all to assure guests of comfort in a peaceful setting. Enjoy wonderful breakfasts in the dining room or on the terrace, complete with home-made jams and gingerbread. The chambres d'hôtes, offering three bedrooms and one suite on the first floor and one suite on the ground floor ~ all with either vineyard, park or tower views ~ has received a 4 "epis" rating. And, of course, guests can participate in wine tastings on the estate. The suites can be combined to form an apartment which will accommodate six people. For lovers of the region of Burgundy, for wine connoisseurs, or simply for travelers to France seeking a pleasant stay in a beautiful part of the country -- accentuated by the availability of some very fine wines -- Château de Chorey seems like the perfect destination! |
