We spent a delightful month in Burgundy, staying in the heart of the Côte d’Or wine region. Our townhouse, “Charmelieu,” located in the picturesque town of Meursault, was a perfectly centralized home base. From here, surrounded by beautiful vineyards and farmlands, we couldn’t wait to take off on our bikes and wind our way along numerous cycling trails that extend along the entire length of the region. The nearby city of Beaune, with it’s beautifully preserved Old Town, is just minutes away by car, and our neighboring villages, including Pommard and Puligny-Montrachet, will set any oenophile’s mouth to watering. The home itself is quiet and very comfortably furnished, boasting a modernized and exceptionally well equipped kitchen, where we happily prepared most of our dinners after a long day of sightseeing. We especially enjoyed a private wine tasting in the owners’ winery and cellar, built right next to the house. A 5-minute stroll brought us to the lovely town center, passing numerous other small wineries along the way. Parking is easily found across the street from the house. The only downside to our stay at Charmelieu, which was considerable but entirely out of our homeowners’ control, was due to the loud, persistent, and undisciplined barking of the neighbors’ dogs across the street. If that nuisance could be addressed, we wouldn’t hesitate to add another star to our review.
