About this property
A Beaujolais winemaker's house + vineyard, a/c, exclusive use of heated pool
'Chez Briar and Michel' - This spacious four bedroom traditional Beaujolais house, set among the Beaujolais vineyards, has exclusive use of a pool which averages 24-29°C, cottage garden and shady courtyard with roses around the door.
The house was originally built over the wine cellars, adjacent to the owners home, to accommodate the 'vigneron' (wine maker) who tended the property's vineyard and wine making. Wine no longer being made on the property has enabled us to convert the old press room, 6 x 7m, into a ground level kitchen, dining and sitting room with French windows opening out onto the court yard and out door dining area. There's also a log burner making this a cosy holiday let for the Beaujolais Nouveau week in November, Christmas or New Year.
The house, which has all modern comforts, offers wonderful panoramic views of the Beaujolais hills from every window, and the garden opens out onto the vineyards with views as far as the Mont Blanc. The style is traditional, with the charm only authentic antique furnishings could bring.
The property has three acres of Gamay vines which were previously tended by the owners who produced a Beaujolais Villages and is now managed by a producer of organic 'vin naturel'.
The pool is open during peak and mid season April to September, closing for low season from October to March.

Why they chose this property
There was no hesitation in choosing this property due to it's location, light airy rooms and wonderful panoramic views of the beautiful region of Beaujolais. We have loved the joint creative project of transforming this once neglected property with great potential and turning it into the bijou that it has become with our own hands.
What makes this property unique
Being wine lovers we also loved tending the vineyard and participating in the production of our own wine - we have now handed over this job to a producer of organic natural wine. 100% rural setting while at close proximity to the beautiful cities of Macon and Lyon which are abound with culture. The perfect location!
