What they say
One Michelin Key
Michelin
Thanks to the layout of this heritage building the rooms and suites are all unique, and all maintain some original architectural character.
Tucked away
A place apart: the property is the destination.
The medieval village of Saint-Émilion is ten minutes away, though quiet vineyard lanes and wooded hills surround the estate.
The rooms
Individually styled interiors balance original stone architecture with contemporary furniture, while select upper suites add private vineyard-view hot tubs.
The pools
Bring a swimsuit.
An indoor heated pool sits beneath vaulted timber rafters, and an outdoor swimming pool opens over the vineyards.
The spa and gym
Treatment rooms host Institut Esthederm bodywork, and the fitness studio looks straight out across the rolling vines.
At the table
Dinners bring organic produce from the estate garden to the table, served with custom cuvées made with Château Angélus.
How it began
Built in 1885, this unpretentious Girondine manor traded traditional castle turrets for residential warmth and twelve hectares of hillside vines.
