At the foot of Corton Hill lies Ladoix-Serrigny, a key part of the Route des Grands Crus de Bourgogne. Churches, a château, wine and walking trails offer different ways to plan your trip. If you are looking for a holiday rental in Ladoix-Serrigny, you can choose what to focus on based on whether you are most interested in historic buildings, regional wines or the vineyard landscape.
Churches and Historic Traces
Construction of the Church of Saint Marcel began in the second half of the 12th century in the Romanesque style. The choir and transept date from the beginning of the 13th century. The building thus reveals two successive periods: its Romanesque beginnings and the parts added later. For visitors interested in religious architecture, Saint Marcel offers a tangible connection to the history of the village’s buildings.
Notre-Dame du Chemin was built in the 11th and 12th centuries, probably on the site of an earlier structure. The church stood at the crossroads of two ancient routes; this historic location adds another dimension to its construction history. A pilgrimage, inaugurated in 1874, takes place there every year on 15 August. At Notre-Dame, a long religious history and a recurring date in the annual calendar thus come together.
Château de Serrigny
The present-day Château de Serrigny was built at the beginning of the 18th century. It is surrounded by a seven-hectare landscaped park in the English style, with mature trees. The interior layout has also been preserved, including a library in the style of Louis XIV, salons and a dining room. The furnishings date from the period when the château was built. The building’s history, park design and furnishings each offer a different glimpse into the estate’s past.
Wine, Trails and Recurring Events
The Ladoix appellation produces red wines from Pinot Noir and white wines from Chardonnay. Two distinct wine types and their respective grape varieties are therefore represented within the same appellation. Walking trails run through Burgundy’s famous vineyards, adding a perspective on the landscape to the area’s wine heritage.
One culinary event is the Balade Gourmande: held on the first Sunday in July, it takes participants along the Corton slope. Regional dishes and local wines are sampled along the way. The event welcomes around 3,000 participants. Anyone interested in wine and regional cuisine will find a specific date that brings the two together.
For planning your dates, two recurring events should be distinguished: the Balade Gourmande takes place on the first Sunday in July, while the pilgrimage is held on 15 August. If you would like to plan your stay around either event, check the specific date for the year of your trip.
