Château des Vignes Dorées: A Haussmann Jewel Over Mercurey’s Rolling Hills

Perched like a crown above the sun-drenched vineyards of Mercurey, where the golden light of Bourgogne spills across endless rows of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, this 19th-century *château* emerges as a masterpiece of Haussmannian grace—restored to perfection, yet whispering secrets of its aristocratic past. Here, between the cobblestone charm of the village below and the heavens above, time slows to the rhythm of clinking glasses and the murmur of the wind through ancient oaks.

Step through the wrought-iron gates into a world where opulence meets intimacy. The *château* unfurls across 670 square meters of meticulously curated splendor: eight regal chambers, each swathed in bespoke linens and cradling *Tempur* dreams; a 60-square-meter salon where a hand-painted fresco—its colors still vibrant after a century—watches over hushed conversations by crackling fires; and a dining hall fit for 18, where candlelight dances on crystal and the air hums with the promise of *boeuf bourguignon* and grand crus from the very slopes outside your window.

Beneath the grand staircase, a hidden sanctuary awaits. A 100-square-meter wellness retreat, carved from the *château*’s foundations, pampers with a Finnish sauna of aromatic cedar, a steam-kissed *hammam* where tension melts like morning mist, and a massage chamber where skilled hands dissolve the world beyond these walls. Here, the body is restored as the soul is stirred—perhaps after a set in the private gym, or a dip in the heated 11-meter pool, its Roman steps inviting you into liquid silk beneath an automatic cover that glides shut like a curtain at dusk. The terrace, vast as a ballroom and warmed by a stone hearth, becomes your stage for al fresco feasts under a sky ablaze with stars, while the solar shower rinses away the day’s sun-kissed traces.

This is no mere estate—it is a legacy in the making. A turnkey dream, fully furnished with heirloom-quality pieces and modern luxuries, where every detail, from the billiards room’s polished walnut to the fiber-optic pulse of high-speed connectivity, has been curated for those who demand both grandeur and effortless living. And should you wish to share its magic, the *château* already sings to the world: in 2022, its enchanted halls welcomed guests who bestowed perfect five-star rapture, their 167,000 euros in revenue a testament to its allure.

Mercurey itself is a postcard come to life—a village where time-honored *domaines* press grapes as they have for centuries, where the scent of fresh bread drifts from the boulangerie, and where your *château* stands as the jewel in the crown. The fiber-optic veins and state-of-the-art security weave silently into the fabric of history, ensuring that while you live in a fairy tale, you are never far from the modern world.

Now, the key awaits. Will you unlock the door to a life where every dawn breaks over your own vine-laced kingdom, where the *clink* of a wineglass against the terrace’s stone balustrade is the only clock you need? The *château* is ready—meublé, magnificent, and yours for the taking. But be swift: such dreams, like the finest Burgundy, do not linger long on the shelf.
