Located directly within the charming village of Merceuil, this vacation home for rent in France celebrates the traditions and heritage of the region with a lightheaded renovation of a 19th-century house.

AROUND
Surrounded by some of the most revered vineyards and Michelin-starred restaurants in the world, the home is situated in the small village of Merceuil, in the Côte-d’Or department in eastern France.
Surrounded by the UNESCO heritage vineyards that produce the world’s most prestigious wines, the house is within a 15-minute drive from the medieval town of Beaune – considered the very heart of the region’s wine making roots.
The capital of oenophile tourism, the city’s historic cobble stone streets are encircled by medieval ramparts, bastions, and towers, with the magnificent 15th-century Hôtel-Dieu at its center, and centuries old cellars beneath the streets that house the rarest and best in the world.
One of the best ways to explore the area is on a bike with Meursault in Bourgogne-Franche-Comté, and Puligny Montrachet and Chassagne all within a few miles, for tastings of some of the most famous appellations. The trails through the rolling hills of nearby Santenay pass through bucolic farmland and forests and the Cirque du Bout du Monde.
It’s less than an hour north to Dijon, Burgundy’s cultural center of medieval and Renaissance splendor, with it’s imposing Ducal palace, fascinating history, culinary excellence and vibrant street scene.
