A chateau with a cone-roofed tower and old winemaking outhouses, nestled in France’s Beaujolais winegrowing area near the city of Lyon. The shape of the chateau evokes the family winegrowing estates that were established in the local region between the 17th century and the 19th century. The rectangular main edifice with its round corner tower stands in walled grounds, which are dotted with trees. A roof of tiles with a patina of time crowns the building. A cone roof caps the adjoining tower. The elevations are coated with pale rendering and punctuated with tall windows fitted with white shutters, brought out by the warm tones of the soil and the surrounding rooftops. Several outbuildings stand around the shady inner court. Some have spacious interiors. Their elevations are marked by the passing of the years. They recall the property’s original agricultural purpose.

A chateau and vat-house, on a former winemaking estate, in a dominant position with 180° views, in the Beaujolais sector. Just off a country road, an ironwork gate opens onto the tree-lined bridleway leading to the foot of the chateau that overlooks the valley and the surrounding landscape. A wide, flat terrace looking out onto the plains surrounds the buildings and the exposed stonework of its plinth course. A second gate located between the chateau and the vat-house leads, via the inner courtyard, to the estate’s former farm, which is today self-contained. On both sides, visitors’ gazes are drawn upwards towards the glazed-tile roof, which reflect the sunshine and create a striking visual contrast with the sober symmetrical facades. The round corner tower forms a link between the two spaces. Through the courtyard, the vat-house is now used for storage, having previously been used for wine production. The rectangular building is separated from the former tenant farm by an adjoining wall.
