Montrachet, France
Como Le Montrachet
Francophile Delight
What it is
A stone-walled 19th century village that’s been resurrected as the ultimate French wine retreat, with a seasonal restaurant, deep wine cellar and insider experiences.
What it isn't
Equipped with its own spa, although in-room massages are available.
What we think
Italian designer Paola Navone recently revamped this storied property, which is stylish from its exposed rafters to its plush rugs underfoot. All 30 rooms are aesthetic delights and thoroughly French, beginning with the 172-square-foot Clos rooms, which are adorned floor to ceiling in toile fabrics, with double vessel sinks and deep window wells. For a truly fairytale stay, it’s worth splurging on the Montrachet Suite; the 753 square foot retreat is tucked within the upper gables, with a separate living space, claw foot tub, crystal chandeliers, and (yes) even more toile.
You're here because
The curated experiences are everything you’ve dreamt of for your Burgundy getaway, including wine tours, cooking classes with topnotch regional chefs (bespoke aprons included as souvenirs), and so much more.
The Moment
From under the moon-like orb light fixtures at Le Montrachet restaurant, everything tastes even better than it looks—including duckling filet with potatoes and blackcurrant glazed beets, and housemade fig leaf sorbet. What’s French for “OMG”?
