On a sleepy square in the heart of French wine country, Como Le Montrachet is the perfect pitstop for a road trip through the Côte d’Or’s greatest grand crus, high-on-the-(Gallic)-charm villages and seriously scenic vineyards. Puligny-Montrachet in Burgundy is one of those hamlets that will have you putting your house on the market: a bistro, a post office, an epicerie, a salon de coiffure and, of course, a cave is pretty much the extent of it. Drive in any direction and you’ll hit another Francophile-fantasy village or a stately château – awaiting you when you get home is a lawn on which to enjoy a glass of local (obviously) wine and fine-dining in the restaurant.

Our favourite rooms

The rooms are all similar in decor, with only the main colour switching between sage, grey and petrol blue, so select your stay based on your favourite shade. Only two rooms are blessed with a balcony, so shotgun either of those for outdoor space. Across the square, the Como Suite has two bedrooms and two bathrooms, as well as a shiny new veranda that has been attached to the old building.

Packing tips

An empty suitcase (or, preferably, a car with an empty boot) to stockpile some of the finest wines in the world.

Also

Happily for fans of the Balinese sister stay, a Como Shambhala spa and a pool in the garden are both in the works for 2025.

Children

All ages are welcome, but there aren’t many facilities for kids.

Food and Drink

Top Table

Out on the terrace for lunch or one of the tables by the window for dinner.

Dress Code

It’s a lost cause attempting to outdo the giant orbs hanging from the ceiling, but you can try.

Hotel restaurant

The restaurant is in a grand dining room with high beamed ceilings, limestone walls and several enormous circles suspended above the tables. The French fine-dining on offer might feature Charolais beef, pike-perch from the Saône River, or, the signature whatever the month, pigeon with a cereal crust. Most of the produce is local and, of course, there’s an extensive wine list from the hotel’s vineyard neighbours and sommeliers on hand to guide you. At breakfast, an artfully arranged (this is France) spread is arranged in the restaurant, with baskets to load with miniature pastries and some à la carte options available. 

Hotel bar

The bar, which has indoor and outdoor seating, may serve signature cocktails but you really should be drinking the local wine instead.

Last orders

The restaurant opens for breakfast, lunch and dinner daily. The bar serves drinks from 11am to 11pm.

Room service

Available between 2pm and 10pm.

France

Como Le Montrachet is in the heart of France’s fabled wine country, in the village of Puligny-Montrachet and a pitstop on the Route des Grands Crus.

Planes

The closest airport is a little under two hours away by car in Lyon. From Geneva, the drive is around an hour and a half.

Trains

You can hop on the Eurostar to Paris and then pick up the TGV to Le Creusot, which is a 40-minute taxi ride from the hotel. Other nearby rail stations are Gare de Chagny and Beaune.

Automobiles

You’ll need wheels for exploring the grand chateaux and pretty villages – though two will do (it’s a popular cycling route). For more horsepower, pick up a hire car at the airport – the hotel has free parking, and two charging points.

Worth getting out of bed for

Wine will be high on the agenda for any visit to Como Le Montrachet, as will a road trip – this scenic stretch of France is officially known as the Route des Grand Crus, which winds its way through the vineyards of the Côte de Nuits and Côte de Beaune. If it all sounds a little too decadent, see the region by bicycle so you can ward off the excesses of wine-drinking and fine-dining. To see the neighbouring châteaux in style, the hotel can arrange luxury wine tours for guests, accompanied by local wine experts. Picturesque pitstops on the route include Meursault, Volnay, Pommard and Beaune.

Local restaurants

There’s a classic French bistro, L'Estaminet des Meix, helpfully located just steps from the hotel on the square, or you can set off for one of the neighbouring villages. Closest to home in Meursault, try Au Fil du Clos (closed Sunday and Monday) for typical Burgundy cuisine, snail ravioli or veal chop; or Le Soufflot (closed Saturday and Sunday) for more casual dishes. For something a little more upscale, Lameloise (closed Tuesday and Wednesday) in Chagny has three Michelin stars; and equally gastronomic is Ed.Em in Chassagne-Montrachet. 

Local bars

Mansion Chanzy on the other side of the village square in Puligny-Montrachet serves sharing platters to enjoy as you taste the grandest wares of the appellation in its vaulted cellar or out in its garden.

Anonymous review

By Mr & Mrs Smith

Every hotel featured is visited personally by members of our team, given the Smith seal of approval, and then anonymously reviewed. As soon as our reviewers have returned from this oenophile-approved hotel in France and unpacked their Puligny de Montrachet white burgundies, a full account of their Bacchus-pleasing break will be with you. In the meantime, to whet your wanderlust, here's a quick peek inside Como Le Montrachet in Burgundy…

If you regularly have reveries about a Gallic existence, Como Le Montrachet on the village square of Puligny-Montrachet in Burgundy will send your dreams into overdrive. This fantasy French stay is in the heart of one of the country’s most esteemed wine regions (yes, we know there are many), where some of the oldest châteaux in the country line up in between acres of immaculate vineyards and impossibly charmant villages. The hotel has taken over buildings on almost every side of the square, but most of the rooms are congregated in the main house, where you’ll find a palette of every shade of green, tassels, velvet and plenty of toile de Jouy. With wine this good, it’d be rude for the food to let the side down – the restaurant serves a more casual menu by day, but refined French fine-dining by night. And of course, evenings begin with a glass of crémant de Bourgogne or chilled Puligny-Montrachet first. To your health – and to France.
