Located within the Château de Gilly, just a stone’s throw from the legendary Clos de Vougeot, this former residence of the Cîteaux Abbots dating back to the 14th century stands in the heart of one of France’s most iconic wine-growing terroirs, surrounded by the renowned climats of the Côte de Nuits. Alice and Jérôme Tourbier have found here the estate of their dreams in which to write a new chapter in the Collection of Vineyard Hotels. Faithful to their vision of the “Art of the Vine,” they continue their commitment to a sincere form of wine tourism, rooted in France’s finest terroirs and respectful of the nature that shapes them. Conceived by the architecture studio Atelier Saint-Lazare, the project breathes new life into this heritage site by combining the authenticity of ancient stonework with the elegance of a contemporary art of living. A unique and inspiring address, where the vine—far more than a backdrop—is a true source of culture, renewal, and emotion.
Each of the 49 rooms, with their inspired décor, is an invitation to rest and contemplation. Conceived as a tribute to the Burgundy terroir, these spaces combine stone and tiles, meticulous restoration of original terracotta floors and woodwork, locally sourced antiques, and carefully selected works of art. Like a family home, they offer discreet luxury, enveloping comfort, and an atmosphere that encourages letting go.
At the heart of the estate, Chef Julien Martin elevates local produce into a vibrant and generous cuisine. The gastronomic restaurant stands out with a finely crafted menu, echoing the great vintages and the seasons that shape Burgundy. Just next door, the contemporary inn reimagines Burgundy’s culinary heritage with a contemporary spirit, combining finesse and creativity.
A Spa by Caudalie completes the wellness experience. Beneath the spectacular stone vaults of the former 14th-century cellar lies the Spa by Caudalie. Two majestic pools stretch between the columns and beneath the ribbed arches, creating a timeless setting celebrating the benefits of the vine and the grape. Signature treatments, exclusive rituals, an indoor pool, and a sauna are all woven into a serene atmosphere that invites total relaxation. A haven of well-being, where body and mind reconnect with the essentials.
