As you approach Château De Réon along its tree-lined driveways you will immediately feel how special this place is. With a rich heritage and stunning natural surroundings, this Burgundy château is a wonderful place for family reunions, holidays with friends or a romantic wedding close to Beaune and the wine villages of the Route des Grands Crus.
Set in its own private walled grounds, Château De Réon was once part of a vast Cistercian abbey’s estate, dating as far back as the 12th century, and was home to the lay brothers for hundreds of years until the French Revolution. The current owners, who fell in love with the domaine, have spent the past decade reviving and restoring this beautiful château whilst respecting its great history as well as its spiritual and natural heritage.
Nowadays this spacious residence offers seven elegantly furnished bedrooms and an impressive apartment, altogether sleeping up to 15 guests. The château exudes an air of authenticity with traditional décor and characterful features alongside contemporary touches - overall there is a true sense of classic style. The living spaces are especially inviting with two large lounges, a high-ceilinged dining room and a well-equipped kitchen.
Within the nine hectares of your private walled grounds, discover the idyllic terrace for al-fresco dining, the serene monastic garden, a peaceful pond and canal, vineyards and an orchard as well as the heated swimming pool. The perfectly restored Orangery is an ideal reception venue for a grand Burgundy wedding in such a splendid setting.
A small village is just 2km away, there are restaurants within a short drive and the beautiful town of Beaune, the wine capital of Burgundy, is just 12km by car. Visit its twice-weekly market to pick up an abundance of local produce, sample Côte de Beaune in the town’s restaurants and bars and admire the incredible Hospices de Beaune, one of France’s most significant historic buildings.
Follow the Route des Grands Crus on foot, bike or by car, coming across gorgeous wine villages such as Pommard, Puligny Montrachet, Volnay and Meursault and their surrounding vineyards, all within around 15km.
Book a table at Maison Lameloise, a 100-year old restaurant in Chagny with three Michelin stars, or further afield spend the day learning about the Roman heritage of Autun or the magnificent abbey in Cluny. For even more outdoor adventures, the Parc Naturel Régional du Morvan is yet another gem of this glorious part of Burgundy.
