Hotel La Maison de Pommard

The first hills of Pommard can already be seen from Beaune, a village sur­rounded by vineyards and clos, known for its red wine culture. La Maison de Pommard, an old 17th-century win­egro­wer’s house, is located directly on the parish square of the village, which was named after Pomona, the goddess of orchards. When the owner, Isa­belle de Mon­tille, inhe­rited the house from her father, a pas­sionate win­egrower who had bought it solely for its cellars, she decided to convert the largely neglected building into a small hotel.
With the support of Parisian architect Ema­nuele Salini, the building was reno­vated, com­bining old stone with modern amen­ities. The façade, typical of a Bur­gundian win­egro­wer’s house, was res­tored iden­ti­cally, while the central interior was opened up with a con­tem­porary touch to give the house more light. This was an aspect that was par­ti­cu­larly important to Isa­belle de Mon­tille.
It took seven years to redesign all the rooms with as few par­tition walls as pos­sible. Since then, hori­zontal and ver­tical per­spec­tives have been created that are rather unusual for a tra­di­tional house in Bur­gundy. The guest lounge, with its view of the walled garden, is par­ti­cu­larly impressive with its light, linear heights com­bined with the old masonry, exposed beams and open con­crete staircase. Stone, wood, lime plaster, waxed con­crete and oxi­dised steel define the interior sur­faces and exude a warm, modern atmo­sphere.
Each of the four guest rooms and one suite have been named after excep­tional Bur­gundy vin­tages and fur­nished with great sen­si­tivity and sophisti­cation. Whether it’s 1969, with its white walls, rounded shapes and alcoves remi­niscent of Greece and Morocco, in 1811, the year of the ‘comet wine’, which places bright pink chairs on antique floor tiles in front of the patina of the walls, in the cosy 1985, one of the coldest years of its time, in the modern 2005 or in the spa­cious suite with a free-standing bathtub. In the morning, guests can enjoy a regional breakfast on the veranda or in the cour­tyard of the garden, and in the evening there is a sel­ection of deli­cacies accom­panied by fine wines. A pool in front of the old stone wall, a sauna and great hos­pi­tality com­plement the who­le­he­arted savoir-vivre of this beau­tiful estate.
