Château de Meursault and Fountain

Highlight • Castle

The origins of Château de Meursault date back to the 11th century. At that time, Robert I, Duke of Burgundy and son of King Robert II of France, granted the fief of Moulin Foulot to one of his squires. From the 12th to the 16th century, the fief frequently changed hands in the course of power struggles between the Duchy of Burgundy and the French king. In 1645, Pierre Legoux de La Berchère, Lord of La Rochepot, acquired the estate belonging to the lordship of Mazeray.

This beautiful backdrop is a great place to take a break. The town hall (Hôtel de ville) is a former feudal castle from the 14th century and has been the location for several films, including "La Grande Vadrouille". There is a fountain, several benches and public toilets.

Route des Grands Crus Cycle Path

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

The Route des Grands Crus (roughly, "road of the great wines") is the name of a French tourist route situated in Burgundy. The approximately 60-kilometre route runs along the foot of the Côte d'Or escarpment, from Dijon in the north to Santenay in the south. Thus it passes through many of the great appellations of Burgundy wine, hence the name of the route. It takes the visitor through the vineyards of the Côte de Nuits and the Côte de Beaune and the back hills (Hautes-Côtes) behind and above the wine slopes. It is punctuated by 33 villages or little towns, including Beaune, many of which have picturesque churches. For route details see: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Route_des_Grands_Crus

Statue of the Winemakers of Puligny-Montrachet

Highlight • Monument

In a town in the Moselle Valley, which, like Burgundy, is internationally renowned for its winemaking, I found the following slogan (without citing the source) on a large billboard:
"The earth, the vine, the sunshine,
they bring us the golden wine.
But if it weren't for the work of the winemaker,
even the finest glasses would remain empty."
The statement fits perfectly with the monument shown here.

Volnay Chapel

Highlight • Historical Site

You will find the chapel of Volnay on the left on the road to Saint Jacques de Compostelle towards Meursault. She is very interesting and old.
