We are passionate about Burgundy wines! The owner of Château de Chailly promotes Burgundy wines worldwide. As an example, he has put in place 60 Burgundy wine barrels in the park at the Meiji-Jingu Shrine in Tokyo, Japan, and now 60 Burgundy vineyards generously consecrate a few precious bottles of their wine every year to the Meiji-Jingu Shrine to promote the spirit of world peace and friendship.
Hôtel Golf Château de Chailly is ideally located to explore the famous Burgundy wine areas where you can visit vineyards and taste their wines. We are located within an hour drive to the most famous wine areas including Côte-de-Nuits, Côte-de-Beaune and Chablis. You can either explore these wine areas through a guided wine tour operator or self-drive tour.
There are nearly 2 000 winemakers in Burgundy and they are relatively small with an average of less than 10 hectares of vines. For a self-drive tour, we recommend visitors to drive on the “Route des Grand Crus” when exploring Côte-de-Nuits and Côte-de-Beaune and stop at vineyards that have signs outside their entrance with “Caves Ouvert” and “Dégustation” for a vineyard visit, tasting and buying wines.
For guided wine tours, we recommend Wine Liaisons, Bourgogne Gold Tour, Burgundy Discovery and Heritour Voyage.

The northern part of the Route des Grand Crus is the Côte-de-Nuits, stretching from the gates of Dijon to the village of Corgoloin. The names of the villages along the way produce some of the best red wines in the world and includes 24 of Burgundy’s 33 grand crus: Chambertin, Clos de Vougeot, Romanée-Conti to name a few.
The Côte-de-Beaune reaches from Ladoix-Serrigny to the vineyards of the Maranges. Here, in the land where Chardonnay reigns, are to be found the greatest dry white wines in the world (Corton-Charlemagne, Montrachet to name a few).
Chablis is known for their dry white wine – distinguished, lively, fruity, often copied but never equalled. From the vantage point of Préhy, one can nearly see all of the Chablis vineyards, enabling visitors to visualise the hierarchy of the various appellations: Petit Chablis, Chablis, Chablis Premier Cru and Chablis Grand Cru - all with the same Chardonnay grape variety.
The Côte Chalonnaise stretches from Santenay to Saint-Gengoux-le-National. This stretch of land blends village and nature, vineyard and hedged farmland, Romanesque churches and châteaux.
