Château de Mercurey Culture Holiday

Château de Mercurey Culture Holiday

 

• History
  • This delightful 19th Century château built in Haussman style, was formerly the home of two generations of the Juillot family well known as mayors of the village of Mercurey, a town with 650 ha of vineyards, located in the Côte Chalonnaise wine region and one of the most important viticulture communities in Burgundy.
• Accommodation
  • This delightful château is set in a charming landscaped garden with wonderful views across the surrounding countryside. Many of the original features have been carefully restored - the wooden floors, the moulded ceilings and wood panelling as well as the fireplaces, doors and windows.
    
    The château easily accommodates 15 people in its eight individually styled luxury bedrooms each with luxurious ensuite bathroom. The spacious lounge is decorated with exquisite original hand painted 19th century wall paper (a copy of this famous wall paper is on display at the Musée D’Orsay in Paris). The handsome dining room and well equipped kitchen makes it easy to conjour up delicious food and the beautifully restored conservatory offers a delightful winter garden.
• Comfort zone - for your pleasure at the Château
  • Heated outdoor poolSpend a lazy day lounging around the pool or dine out on the spacious terrace on balmy summer evenings. Large BBQ is located close to the pool. GymVisit the first floor gym complete with spacious shower hidden away in the circular tower. Wall mounted TV and DVD player will take your mind off the exercise! BikesSome bikes are available if you want to pedal through the quiet lanes. BoulesFeeling competitive? Why not try a boules contest between friends - 2 sets can be found at the château. TelevisionThere are a number of televisions including a wall mounted screen in the gym with DVD player and a giant screen in the lounge complete with Playstation 3. Board GamesA selection of board games - in French - give a great opportunity to improve language skills!
• A Taste of France!
  • ChefFor an unforgettable dining experience arrange your own “chef de cuisine” - he will arrive around 2pm to serve dinner at 8pm preparing all the food for a sumptuous meal. He is happy for you to watch. Or if you are interested in learning more about French cuisine, why not turn it into a cookery course? Request a quote - typically 55 Euros per person. Traiteur DeiveryWe can introduce you to an excellent traiteur who with 24 hours notice can deliver a delicious range of gastronmic delights to the Château ... or try some of delightful restaurants just a short drive away ... or visit local markets and shops and concoct your own delicious meals.

Château de Mercurey View Hotels & Cuisine

• Hotel - Chateau de Mercurey

  • This is a wonderful Chateau sitting on the edge of the old part of the famous wine-producing village of Mercurey. This is a pretty pale stone village getting on with the day to day business of making excellent wine. The situation of Chateau de Mercurey means that because it sits on rising ground, there are wonderful views back to the village and along the valley which is covered in a jigsaw of vineyards. The Chateau enjoys a pretty garden which has a heated pool and a summer house, again with lovely open views. But inside the Chateau really comes into its own. Renovated and refurbished in 2009, it has retained its grandeur in the main living rooms and bedrooms, but has additional features like a gym in the basement and sauna, a games room, large flat screen TVs and wonderful bathrooms - all the bedrooms are ensuite. This really is a very nice way to live, especially if you opt for the services of the Traiteur and Chef. Further afield, the Burgundy town of Chalon sur Saone is within easy reach, as are the historic towns of Beaune and Tournus and you have easy access to lovely cycles and walks, which we can give you further information on if you would like.
