Nantoux combines vineyards on the slopes and wooded areas with a highly rugged landscape. It also features elements of dry-stone heritage, a 16th-century Gothic church and specific links to wine. If you are choosing a destination based on its landscape, architecture or tasting opportunities, Nantoux offers a range of distinct points of interest to explore.
Landscape and dry-stone heritage
Nantoux lies at the outlet of three valleys: the valley of the Ruisseau de la Combe, the Ruisseau de Rouhot and the Ruisseau de Dessous la Velle. The surrounding landscape is highly rugged. Around the village, the scenery alternates between vineyards on the slopes, wooded areas and varied vegetation on the Montagne de la Chaume. Viticulture is therefore part of the landscape, complemented by the woods and vegetation on the Montagne de la Chaume.
The GR 7 also passes through Nantoux. On the slopes around the village, you will find meurgers, retaining walls and a cabotte, all elements of its dry-stone heritage. The valleys, vegetation and stone structures offer different points of reference if you are weighing landscape and cultural heritage as priorities for your trip.
Architecture and local points of interest
The Église Saint-Benigne in Nantoux is a 16th-century church and an example of Gothic architecture. It thus combines a specific date with a stylistic classification. In contrast to the dry-stone structures on the slopes, this is a focus on religious architecture—a distinct way to explore the village’s built heritage. The Arboretum de Nantoux is located at Rue sous la Velle, 21190 Nantoux.
Wine and seasonal cuisine
Wine enthusiasts can choose from two different types of tasting experiences. Domaine Charles François & Fils in Nantoux offers a wine tasting at its caveau, which can be reserved. Earl Éric Montchovet offers a wine tasting at the estate at 7 Rue Léonard, 21190 Nantoux. The difference between a caveau and a winery is a practical point to consider when deciding which type of experience suits your trip. As arrangements at Domaine Charles François & Fils may change, check in advance; it is also advisable to confirm with Earl Éric Montchovet before visiting.
The appellations Bourgogne-aligoté, Bourgogne-hautes-côtes-de-beaune, Pommard, Monthélie, Beaune and Puligny-montrachet are represented at Earl Éric Montchovet. The availability of individual appellations may vary.
La Table de Pauline in Nantoux prepares its menus in keeping with the seasons and the products available at the time, with a fresh, authentic character. The seasonal menu offers a different culinary experience from the tastings: here, the focus is on the food, while the tastings focus on wines and their appellations. As seasonal offerings may change, check the current menu selection in advance.
