In the heart of the Côte Chalonnaise vineyards, on the Wine Route (12km from Chalon sur Saône and 2 km from Mercurey), the Le Pressoir gîte is an idea
Laurence & Xavier, passionate about nature & hiking (designers of totally original walking circuits for their guests, starting from the gîte, to get off the "beaten track") open the doors of an authentic charming 18th-century wine outbuilding, fully restored (formerly linked to the estate that occupied the premises, of which the imposing original "press" remains, standing in the courtyard) nestled in the quiet, on the edge of a lane, in the heart of a picturesque little wine-growing village, perfectly preserved, nestled in a "panoramic balcony" on the east-facing hillside, from where you can see Mont Blanc in clear weather. Total tranquility nestled in a picture-postcard landscape, in the heart of the rolling countryside of the Côte Chalonnaise, in the hollow of a vineyard plateau (of the famous "Val d'Or"), on the slopes of a wooded hill protected as a "Natura 2000 Zone" & ZNIEFF (for its rich fauna and flora), sheltering at its summit the ruins of the medieval fortified castle of Montaigu, built in the 10th century, steeped in history (having played a significant role in the Wars of Religion), overlooking the sublime Vallée des Vaux & the Val de Saône, extending from the "Montabon" hill covered in a vast forest. A warm, rustic charm enhanced by the soul of the original buildings (stone walls, wooden lintels, beams, etc.). A pleasant, intimate walled garden (50m²), planted with trees (apple & plum trees) and featuring a slide.
