Ermitage de Corton is a four-star wine country hotel set in the village of Chorey-lès-Beaune, between the celebrated appellations of Corton and Beaune in the Côte de Beaune district of Bourgogne-Franche-Comté. The hotel occupies a traditional Burgundian manor house surrounded by vineyards, with 26 rooms and suites furnished in a warm classic Burgundian style using wooden furnishings, local fabrics, and rich autumnal tones. Guests are immersed in vine country from arrival: the estate overlooks the distinctive Corton hill, the geological landmark that gives its name to the only Grand Cru red wine of the Côte de Beaune, and the views across the vines from the upper rooms are among the most evocative in the region. The on-site restaurant serves traditional Burgundian cuisine with an emphasis on pairing dishes with local terroir, and the wine list focuses on Aloxe-Corton, Corton Grand Cru, Savigny-lès-Beaune, and Chorey-lès-Beaune appellations from small-grower producers. A heated outdoor swimming pool is available to guests during the summer season, and the parklike grounds provide a peaceful contrast to the busier accommodation in central Beaune, five kilometres south. The hotel is well positioned for cycling the Route des Grands Crus, and staff can assist with guidance on vineyard visits and private cellar tastings in surrounding villages including Pernand-Vergelesses and Ladoix-Serrigny. Beaune SNCF station is approximately six kilometres away, with regional rail services to Dijon in 20 minutes and Chalon-sur-Saône in 15 minutes. Rates from €175 to €310 per night make this one of the more moderately priced four-star options in the Côte de Beaune wine corridor.
