In brief
- Location: Vougeot, in Burgundy.
- New opening: The opening of Les Sources de Vougeot, an exceptional hotel combining a spa, well-being and heritage.
- Key players: La Collection des hôtels du vignoble and chef Julien Martin.
- Key figures: 2 regional restaurants set within a centuries-old building.
The outdoor spaces have been designed to extend the indoor experience. Strolls along the moats and through the gardens allow guests to admire the details of Burgundy architecture from every angle. The preservation of local flora and fauna around the château accentuates the authentic and unspoilt character of this exceptional hotel estate.
A gastronomic offering rooted in the local terroir
The estate’s culinary offering seeks to showcase the region’s gourmet heritage while adapting to contemporary expectations of conviviality and freshness. The dining spaces take advantage of the exceptional historical setting to offer distinct yet complementary atmospheres throughout the day.
Gastronomy rooted in the Burgundy terroir
The Burgundy immersion continues at the table of chef Julien Martin, who orchestrates the culinary offering of the estate’s two restaurants. L’Auberge des Cîteaux offers convivial cuisine in a bright setting reminiscent of a country house, while Le Clos de la Tour completes this gastronomic offering focused on local produce.
The chef prioritises short supply chains and produce from local market gardeners and producers to create seasonal menus. At L’Auberge des Cîteaux, the dishes showcase generous cuisine, perfect for an informal lunch or a warm dinner. Le Clos de la Tour develops a more elaborate culinary score, where pairings between local haute gastronomie and great Burgundy wines take centre stage.
To go further
A stay at Les Sources de Vougeot is organised as a seamless journey between historical discovery, relaxing moments at the spa and culinary discoveries. The transition between the communal areas, the moat-lined garden and the treatment zones flows naturally, inviting guests to live at the gentle pace of the Burgundy countryside. The meticulous restoration guarantees optimal acoustic and thermal insulation, offering the feeling of a protective cocoon within a centuries-old building.

Set within the grounds of the château de Gilly in Burgundy, Les Sources de Vougeot stands out as a new well-being hotel, uniting the historical heritage of a former Cistercian priory with treatments from the maison Caudalie. Nestled in the heart of an iconic wine-growing region, the estate offers a getaway where the preservation of ancient stone dialogues harmonieusement with a contemporary art de vivre. This reinvention of a centuries-old residence is part of a hotel philosophy focused on nature, well-being and the celebration of France’s great terroirs.

Upon crossing the threshold of this preserved estate, visitors discover a singular atmosphere where time seems to stand still, carried by the lapping water of the moats and the majesty of the centuries-old vaults. The establishment thus promises a fully immersive experience, combining absolute relaxation, haute gastronomie and heritage discovery.

The hotel art de vivre at the heart of the grands crus
The creation of Les Sources de Vougeot is part of an exacting vision of high-end countryside hospitality. By establishing their concept in the heart of the Burgundy vineyards, Alice and Jérôme Tourbier continue the development of the Collection des hôtels du vignoble with an address that pays tribute to the local wine-growing identity. The Vougeot region, famous for its historic plots and its monastic tradition of working the vines, offered an ideal natural setting for this transformation project.
The estate’s layout prioritises direct contact with the serenity of the Burgundy landscapes. Visitors are invited to explore a soothing green setting, where the vines shape the horizon and rhythm the life of the property. Each space in the château has been designed as a bridge between the past splendour of the site and the requirements of modern comfort, offering an intimate setting for lovers of tranquillity and wine tourism.
Metamorphosis of a Cistercian priory in Burgundy
The latest step in the Collection des hôtels du vignoble imagined by Alice and Jérôme Tourbier, this establishment is a continuation of the founding addresses in Bordeaux and the Loire Valley. Access to the property is via an ancient drawbridge crossing ancestral moats. A former Cistercian priory founded in the 6th century, the building retains monumental volumes and a structure marked by its monastic history.
The imprint of the Cistercian monks can be felt in the rigour of the architectural lines and the layout of the buildings around the gardens. For centuries, this priory was a nerve centre of the region’s spiritual and agricultural life. Crossing the drawbridge thus marks the beginning of a journey through time, guiding the guest from the bustle of the outside world to the calm of a preserved sanctuary.
A transformed Cistercian heritage
Classed as a Monument Historique, the château de Gilly combines traditional Burgundy architecture with a spectacular reception hall set in the former kitchens. Major heritage elements, such as the French-style ceilings, frescoes and chevron parquet flooring, have undergone a rigorous restoration.
The rehabilitation required meticulous work to showcase the original noble materials. The exposed ashlar, patinated wood panelling and sculpted elements have been preserved to ensure fidelity to the memory of the place. Throughout the property, the hallways and living rooms bear witness to this sought-after balance between the solemnity of the historic building and the warm atmosphere of a family home.
The alliance of heritage and contemporary design
To orchestrer this transformation, the management entrusted the architectural structure to the Chevalier Guillemot firm, a specialist in historic monuments, while Studio A.S.L. took charge of the interior decoration. The decor combines sourced vintage pieces and contemporary creations to preserve the authenticity of the premises without sacrificing hotel comfort.
In the hall, the stone Gothic vaults and monumental fireplaces create a majestic atmosphere, tempered by enveloping seating and raw wood elements. Bespoke furniture dialogues with carefully selected antique objects, bringing a personalised aesthetic touch to every corner of the estate. This bespoke approach avoids the classic rigidity of historic buildings while celebrating craftsmanship in all its forms.
Les Sources de Vougeot and the magic of the Caudalie spa
The integration of the Caudalie brand within the building embodies the natural link between a passion for wine and the culture of body care. Designed as a sensory extension of the château, the spa offers a setting for total disconnection where the historical dimension enriches the relaxation journey. The soft lighting and surrounding calm invite immediate letting go from the very first steps into this space dedicated to serenity.
A Caudalie spa dedicated to vinotherapy
True to their attachment to viticulture, the owners have set up the well-being space within the former 14th-century cellar. An underground passage connects the reception to this space once dedicated to winemaking. The heart of the spa houses two stainless steel pools arranged under the age-old vaults and between the original stone columns.
This choice of underground location reinforces the feeling of protection and tranquillity. The contrast between the contemporary stainless steel of the pools and the mineral grain of the stone vaults creates a unique theatrical decor. The reflections of the water discreetly illuminate the ancient stone, offering a soothing visual spectacle during the swim.
The spa reception is distinguished by wooden panels sculpted by the artist Victor Giannotta, illustrating an allegory of the four seasons. The intimate treatment cabins offer exclusive protocols, including the Massage Vigneron and the Premier Cru anti-ageing treatment, based on the antioxidant properties of grapes.
Each treatment protocol is directly inspired by the benefits of the vine and grape seed extracts, renowned for their regenerating virtues. In the cabins, the cosy atmosphere is maintained through the use of natural materials and carefully designed acoustics, ensuring that the peace of visitors is respected.

A Caudalie spa dedicated to vinotherapy
True to their attachment to viticulture, the owners have set up the well-being space within the former 14th-century cellar. An underground passage connects the reception to this space once dedicated to winemaking. The heart of the spa houses two stainless steel pools arranged under the age-old vaults and between the original stone columns.
This choice of underground location reinforces the feeling of protection and tranquillity. The contrast between the contemporary stainless steel of the pools and the mineral grain of the stone vaults creates a unique theatrical decor. The reflections of the water discreetly illuminate the ancient stone, offering a soothing visual spectacle during the swim.
The spa reception is distinguished by wooden panels sculpted by the artist Victor Giannotta, illustrating an allegory of the four seasons. The intimate treatment cabins offer exclusive protocols, including the Massage Vigneron and the Premier Cru anti-ageing treatment, based on the antioxidant properties of grapes.
Each treatment protocol is directly inspired by the benefits of the vine and grape seed extracts, renowned for their regenerating virtues. In the cabins, the cosy atmosphere is maintained through the use of natural materials and carefully designed acoustics, ensuring that the peace of visitors is respected.
A sensory experience between history and well-being
A stay at Les Sources de Vougeot is organised as a seamless journey between historical discovery, relaxing moments at the spa and culinary discoveries. The transition between the communal areas, the moat-lined garden and the treatment zones flows naturally, inviting guests to live at the gentle pace of the Burgundy countryside. The meticulous restoration guarantees optimal acoustic and thermal insulation, offering the feeling of a protective cocoon within a centuries-old building.
The outdoor spaces have been designed to extend the indoor experience. Strolls along the moats and through the gardens allow guests to admire the details of Burgundy architecture from every angle. The preservation of local flora and fauna around the château accentuates the authentic and unspoilt character of this exceptional hotel estate.
A gastronomic offering rooted in the local terroir
The estate’s culinary offering seeks to showcase the region’s gourmet heritage while adapting to contemporary expectations of conviviality and freshness. The dining spaces take advantage of the exceptional historical setting to offer distinct yet complementary atmospheres throughout the day.
Gastronomy rooted in the Burgundy terroir
The Burgundy immersion continues at the table of chef Julien Martin, who orchestrates the culinary offering of the estate’s two restaurants. L’Auberge des Cîteaux offers convivial cuisine in a bright setting reminiscent of a country house, while Le Clos de la Tour completes this gastronomic offering focused on local produce.
The chef prioritises short supply chains and produce from local market gardeners and producers to create seasonal menus. At L’Auberge des Cîteaux, the dishes showcase generous cuisine, perfect for an informal lunch or a warm dinner. Le Clos de la Tour develops a more elaborate culinary score, where pairings between local haute gastronomie and great Burgundy wines take centre stage.
