The estate says it was destroyed by fire, while the local tourist office describes it as demolished. In the 19th century a new château was built on the site, reusing some of the old stones. It remains a private home at the centre of a working wine estate in the village. The wine estate was built up over four generations from the early 20th century and passed from father to son. Arnaud Pelletier, the fifth generation, took over in 2003 after years in New Caledonia and a year at wine school. His father began converting the vines to organic farming, starting in the Hautes-Côtes de Nuits, and the whole estate is now certified organic. ## Architecture The château is a 19th-century stone house in the village, built partly with material from the earlier fortress. Facing it is the Gîte Saint-Vincent, an outbuilding of the estate now let as a holiday house. The domaine works about 15 hectares across the Hautes-Côtes de Nuits, Côte de Nuits-Villages and Nuits-Saint-Georges appellations, including the premiers crus Clos des Argillières and Clos des Corvées-Pagets. ## Visiting The estate welcomes wine lovers for tastings of its range, which includes around ten reds, six whites, a rosé and a crémant. It is a small family business, so contact the estate before you come. Premeaux-Prissey sits on the main road between Nuits-Saint-Georges and Beaune, which makes it an easy stop. ## Did you know? Arnaud Pelletier was living in New Caledonia when a letter from his father asked him to come home, because his brothers did not want to take over the family estate. ## Around Château de Prémeaux What to combine with Château de Prémeaux on the same day, nearest first. ### Villages - [Premeaux-Prissey](https://www.cote-privee.com/villages/premeaux-prissey) (1 km away): Two old villages joined in 1972, with walled premier cru clos and wines sold as Nuits-Saint-Georges. - [Nuits-Saint-Georges](https://www.cote-privee.com/villages/nuits-saint-georges) (3 km away): The wine town that names the Côte de Nuits, with 41 premiers crus and a lively old centre. - [Vosne-Romanée](https://www.cote-privee.com/villages/vosne-romanee) (5 km away): Six grands crus, including Romanée-Conti and La Tâche, in the village called the pearl of the Côte. ### Châteaux - [Château de Quincey](https://www.cote-privee.com/chateaux/chateau-de-quincey) (3 km away): A moated classical château at the end of a long avenue, just south-east of Nuits. - [Maison forte d’Agencourt](https://www.cote-privee.com/chateaux/maison-forte-d-agencourt) (4 km away): A moated fortified house east of Nuits, rebuilt around 1650 and now a rural school. - [Château de la Berchère](https://www.cote-privee.com/chateaux/chateau-de-la-berchere) (5 km away): A moated château between Nuits-Saint-Georges and the Saône plain, now a hotel. ### Things to do - [Le Cassissium](https://www.cote-privee.com/things-to-do/cassissium) (3 km away): A museum and working liqueur house devoted to Burgundy's blackcurrant, with a tasting to finish. - [Domaine Guy et Yvan Dufouleur](https://www.cote-privee.com/things-to-do/domaine-guy-et-yvan-dufouleur-nuits-saint-georges) (3 km away): A family of growers in Nuits-Saint-Georges since 1596, selling 28 of its wines at its cellar in the town centre. - [Nuits-Saint-Georges Belfry (Beffroi de Nuits-Saint-Georges)](https://www.cote-privee.com/things-to-do/beffroi-de-nuits-saint-georges), 3 km away: The 17th-century belfry that has watched over the main square of Nuits-Saint-Georges for four centuries. ### Restaurants - [Le Charlemagne](https://www.cote-privee.com/restaurants/le-charlemagne-pernand-vergelesses) (7 km away · 1 MICHELIN star): Burgundy with a Japanese accent, facing the hill of Corton-Charlemagne - [Clos du Cèdre](https://www.cote-privee.com/restaurants/clos-du-cedre-beaune) (12 km away · 1 MICHELIN star): A winemaker's mansion by Beaune's ramparts, with a starred kitchen and a cellar of over 1,000 wines - [Le Carmin](https://www.cote-privee.com/restaurants/le-carmin-beaune) (12 km away · 1 MICHELIN star): Christophe Quéant's poised, product-first cooking in a Renaissance house on place Carnot ## Questions about Château de Prémeaux ### How far is Château de Prémeaux from Beaune?
