Perfectly located in the heart of the wine-village of Puligny-Montrachet, just 15-minutes from Beaune, Maison Chardonnay is a wonderful home close to some of Burgundy’s finest vineyards.
Beautifully renovated by its wine-loving owners, this village house is all about historic charm alongside stylish interiors. The bright kitchen-diner is brilliantly equipped and the open-plan living space offers both comfort and character with original parquet flooring, exposed stone walls and wood-beamed ceilings. Sliding doors lead out to a glorious terrace and barbecue, ideal for warm summer evenings creating feasts using ingredients from the many local markets.
On the top floor a superb master bedroom with air-conditioning looks out to the picturesque square below and features a gorgeous en suite bathroom with a stand-alone bath and walk-in shower. Two further bedrooms downstairs, both with en suite showers, allow plenty of space for a group of friends or family wishing to explore the delights of Burgundy.  
The boulangerie is seconds away for your morning pastries and other amenities such as a grocery store, village café, bistros and wineries within a short walk. This region is a paradise for food-lovers with a Michelin starred restaurant both in the village as well as nearby Chagny and Beaune.
The Farmer’s markets of Chagny, Beaune and Autun will also delight those in search of regional delights or discover some of the other idyllic wine-villages by following the Route des Grands Crus to Meursault, Volnay and Pommard, all within a 10-minute drive. Hire bikes to cycle through vineyards or follow walking trails to discover the magnificent landscapes of Burgundy.
Spend time exploring the historic delights of Beaune, the wine-capital of this region or travel a little further afield to Autun, Dijon and Cluny. Even the hills of the Parc Naturel Régional du Morvan are waiting to be discovered within an hour by car.
That’s if you can tear yourself away from the idyllic vineyards and wineries so close to your beautiful Burgundy village home. Maison Chardonnay is located in the very heart of the well-known Burgundy wine village of Puligny-Montrachet, just a 15-minute drive from the centre of Beaune.
You are just a few steps away from the boulangerie and within a couple of minutes you can walk to the village café, grocery store, wine bar and a small handful of excellent restaurants including the Michelin starred Le Montrachet.
There are many opportunities to sample wine in Puligny-Montrachet; the village boasts four Grand Crus and is part of the well-known wine-road, Route des Grands Crus. Covering over 60km between Dijon and Santenay, other nearby villages along this prestigious wine route include Chassagne-Montrachet (3km), Meursault (5km), Volnay (8km) and Pommard (9km) as well as other vineyards covering the Côte de Nuits and Côte de Beaune appellations. Cycling and walking are both idyllic ways to discover the surrounding landscapes of endless vines, wonderful wineries and fantastic restaurants.
Heading north, following the Route des Grands Crus, you will reach the historic town of Beaune (13km), known to be the wine-capital of Burgundy. As well as some of the country’s best wineries, it is also home to the Hospices de Beaune, one of France’s most significant historical buildings. Visit the vibrant market on Wednesday or Saturday morning to pick up some wonderful regional produce from this area.
The market in Chagny (5km) on a Sunday morning is likewise a delight; this charming town is also home to Maison Lameloise, a 100-year old restaurant with three Michelin stars. Just south of the town, the canal is a pleasant place for cycling and walking and there are also some great fishing spots nearby. Chagny also has its own train station which is handy when visiting Beaune and Dijon.
Indeed, the mustard stores of Dijon (60km) are easily reached by train or car whilst Cluny (65km) is best known for its incredible abbey, one of the largest in Europe and a National Monument of France. History lovers may also wish to visit Autun (40km) with its Roman sites, twice-weekly market and beautiful cathedral.
For a change of scene, drive an hour west to the stunning Parc Naturel Régional du Morvan for hiking, mountain biking, horse-riding and watersports on the lakes and rivers.
