Three gateways to discover the richness of Burgundy winegrowing
After many months of work, the Cité des Vins has opened its doors to the public!
- A few words about the construction stages of the three sites.
Quoted in Chablis :
Located in the heart of the village, just a stone's throw from the vineyards, La Cité à Chablis is housed in a historic medieval building: the Petit Pontigny cellar, a place highly steeped in history as one of the monastic cradles that shaped winegrowing Burgundy.
Architect Claude Correia of Atelier Correia Architectes & Associés, located in Saulieu in the heart of the Morvan region, has renovated this intimate 12th century building and added an 800 m² contemporary extension.
City of Beaune :
Groupe Rougeot achieved a high-precision construction with this 24-meter-high architectural jewel , featuring a 2,000-ton helical gimbal.
In addition to being a true technical feat, the Cité à Beaune is also an example ofeco-responsibility, thanks to a carefully thought-out construction process that is part of a sustainable tourism approach (bio-sourced materials, local geosourced materials, renewable energy production, rainwater recovery...).
Cité à Mâcon :
With its strong signal in the shape of a press screw, the Cité à Mâcon stands like a lighthouse on the banks of the Saône, perfectly integrated into the urban space.
Take advantage of your visit to the belvedere , which offers an exceptional view from a height of 14 metres.
