The new addresses to know in Burgundy

 

Wine tourism is developing at high speed in Burgundy. While the opening of the Cité des Climats et Vins de Bourgogne is taking shape, the estates, for their part, are developing places conducive to discovery and tasting. Our selection of new addresses:

• The Prosper. The Château de Saint-Aubin, owned by Prosper Maufoux, was completely renovated by the Piffaut family in 2021. The Château is located in the heart of the village of the same name and overlooks a vineyard. Below, the Prosper restaurant has just opened. It invites you to “enjoy a refined gastronomic and tourist experience in the Côte de Beaune”. The reins of this new gourmet address have been entrusted to Édouard Mignot and Émilie Rey (Ed’Em, one Michelin star). They imagined a locally inspired menu, in harmony with the Burgundy wines of the House.

 

• The Manor of the plots of Saulx. At the entrance to Meursault coming from Puligny-Montrachet, the Manoir des Parcellaires de Saulx has just opened its doors to welcome guests looking for a visit and a tasting or who simply want to come and drink a glass on the terrace, facing the Burgundy vineyard. Open Wednesday to Saturday from 10:30 a.m. to 7:00 p.m., the Manoir des Parcellaires de Saulx offers a shop where wines from the Domaine de La Commaraine, the Parcellaires de Saulx and the Domaine Belleville are sold with more than 40 Burgundy appellations, from villages to large raw. But also a tasting cellar and a superb terrace overlooking the surrounding vineyards.

 

• Le Marsannay. This is the name of the Marsannay-la-Côte winegrowers’ cellar, which opened this summer 2022, in the village’s former tourist office. The place acts as both a wine shop and a wine bar. There are wines from the Marsannay appellation (nearly 108 references), the northernmost of the Côte de Nuits, which comes in reds, whites and rosés. The opportunity to (re)discover these wines that are on the rise. Open Wednesday to Friday 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. and 3 p.m. to 7 p.m., Saturdays 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. and 2 p.m. to 7 p.m., Sunday 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.
