The Chateau de Chavanes at Montigny-les-Arsures (39 Jura, Franche-Comté) produces some of the best Jura wines from the Arbois AOC appellation, especially with the local Savignin grapes – note this is not Sauvignon – which produces dry white wines and the spectacular local Vin Jaune (yellow wine) and Vin de Paille (straw wine – as the process involves drying the grapes on beds of straw!
You will be welcomed in our suite or in one of our four guestrooms, all tastefully decorated.
Spacious and comfortable, all the rooms have separate bathrooms with either a shower or bath and toilet.
As part of your stay we will be very pleased to invite you to taste the estate’s wines, visit our cellars and share our passion for cultivating vines and for winemaking with you.
Situated just north of the attractive village of Arbois(where Louis Pasteur was born) and to the east of Dole, the Chateau is surrounded by vineyards and rolling hills and offers 4 stylish bedrooms all with modern facilities.
