Maison des Grands Vins Burgundy Luxury Villa & Vineyard Retreat
Holiday Home Rental Description
Sleeps 15 | 8 Bedrooms | 5 Bathrooms
A prestigious 19th-century Burgundy residence originally created by the renowned wine magnate Auguste Billerey, Maison des Grands Vins offers a rare and refined stay in the heart of Burgundy’s most celebrated Chardonnay landscape. Surrounded by iconic UNESCO-listed vineyards and just a gentle stroll from Puligny-Montrachet, this exceptional home blends heritage, artistry and contemporary elegance for a deeply atmospheric luxury villa experience.
Lovingly restored in partnership with the Fondation du Patrimoine, the house has been shaped over three generations of a family with rich stories across Chassagne, Norway, Singapore and London. Sunlight moves beautifully across pale floors, soft textures and carefully curated furnishings, creating interiors that balance artisanal charm with Scandinavian restraint and subtle global influences. Every room carries the legacy of the Billerey family and the timeless character of Burgundy’s wine-growing tradition.
With eight individual bedrooms and five bathrooms spread across three expansive floors, the villa adapts effortlessly to both intimate gatherings and larger groups of up to fifteen guests. A serene bathroom with a private sauna gazes directly over Chardonnay vines, while a charming library, atmospheric lounges, reading corners and a grand dining hall all contribute to an impression of generous, elegant space. The modern kitchen is superbly equipped for gourmet cooking and convivial feasts.
Outside, the gardens are designed for slow living and carefree pleasure. Relax on the deck beside the heated swimming pool, gather on the raised terrace for al fresco dining and sunset drinks, or enjoy world-class Burgundy wines while overlooking the vineyards that once belonged to Billerey himself. Children will adore the playroom complete with piano and theatre stage, alongside table tennis, boules and wide lawns perfect for games beneath the French summer sky.
Situated at the edge of Puligny-Montrachet, Maison des Grands Vins is a gateway to Burgundy’s most prestigious winemaking heritage. Wander to wine domaines for tastings, cycle the legendary Route des Grands Crus or explore nearby villages including Meursault, Pommard and Volnay. The vibrant market town of Chagny, home to three-Michelin-starred Maison Lameloise, lies only 5.5km away. The historic wine capital of Beaune is a short fifteen-minute drive for cultural treasures and exquisite dining.
Maison des Grands Vins is a rare gem in Burgundy’s most coveted landscape, offering an extraordinary blend of history, elegance and understated luxury.
