Le Clos de Lepeiche

Charm and comfort in a sublime landscaped setting! This delightful, authentic 17th-century winemaker's house, steeped in history and meticulously restored, boasts a lovely 1500m² enclosed garden with a beautiful 7x3.5m swimming pool. Nestled in a peaceful, typical wine-growing village of the Couchois region (Côtes Chalonnaises / vineyards on site), it is just 8 km from the charming spa town and market town of Santenay (offering numerous shops and services, leisure facilities, and a casino). Enjoy a tranquil, unspoiled environment in the heart of the rolling hills of the Chalonnaise countryside, a succession of bucolic vineyard slopes, verdant meadows, and wooded hills. Prime location at the crossroads of the world-renowned vineyards of the Côtes de Beaune, Hautes Côtes de Beaune & Côtes Chalonnaises, next to the Romanesque church circuit & the illustrious "Route des Grands Crus" (crossing the mythical wine villages of Puligny-Montrachet, Pommard, Meursault…).

An exceptionally privileged location on the border of the Côte d'Or, at the crossroads of the magnificent Beaune region, the Autun region, and the Morvan (and its Regional Natural Park).
