Thematic Interest & Activities

The Château was built 1709 by the first president of the burgundy parliament on the foundations of an old cistercian abbey. It is located in the close neighbourhood of the famous Château Clos de Vougeot and surrounded by numerous world-known wine-growing regions.

From the beginning, the Château has been in the focal point of burgundy history, as it was seat of numerous important personalities from politics and nobility.

Monchs of the cistercians have cultivated the land and kept their possessions here until the French revolution. Therefore, they have a place of honour in the own wine museum which has been installed in the old venerable vaulted cellar roof.

Château André Ziltener is specialised in the sale of French top-wines. The headquarters and the Domaine are located directly at the “Route des Grands Crus” in Chambolle-Musigny, Burgundy.

We cultivate and process the harvest of vineyards at the Côte-de-Nuits and the Côte-de-Beaune. Furthermore, we choose several other proveniences from selected producers.


Wine cellar

" Le vin de Bourgogne allume les Yeux, Chauffe la Bouche, Enflamme le Corps, Embrase le C œur et fait Etinceler l’Esprit" (Pierre Poupon)

A comfortable wine cellar invites our hotel guests and winelovers to taste the famous burgundy wines. The special ambience of the old vaulted cellar roofs combined with a competent wine advice will make the wine-tasting a very special experience.

Besides the long-standing relations to local wine-growers and Domaines, the Château André Ziltener has entertained good relations to the Bordelais for several years, inter alia to the winery of Barons de Rothschild (Lafite). Château André Ziltener sells various Rothschild wines exclusivly in several countries.


Wine museum

An interesting small wine museum in the old vaulted cellar roof of the abbey represents the historic past of the Château.

A special preciousness is the last remaining example of an ancient map of the duchy burgundy from 1763. The Ziltener family has aquired this map a an auction.

A copy of the map is shown in our own wine museum while the original is exposed in the “Musée du Vin” in the “Salle des Ambassadeurs” in Beaune as loan. This map is a special showpiece of unique historic significance and has been made by the best royal cartographers and geometrics.
