About Chateau De Gilly
A glorious former medieval monastery in the heart of Burgundys Grand Cru wine country, Chateau de Gilly used to be the residence of Cistercian monks. It has now been transformed into a secluded retreat with refined cuisine, beautifully manicured French-style gardens with a moat and a river. Classically beautiful, the chateaus historic legacy is evident in every room, especially in the magnificent vaulted gourmet restaurant, Le Clos Prieur. Take a tour of the wine cellar, which is home to an impressive collection of over 25,000 bottles of Burgundy appellations and Grand Crus. In the winter months, relax with a book in front of the drawing rooms roaring fire, play billiards or unwind with a massage or body treatment. Summer activities include swimming, archery, golf and hot-air ballooning.
Two miles from Vougeot, in the heart of Burgundy vineyards, between Dijon and Beaune.
