The COMO Group is delighted to announce that the newest addition to  its global portfolio, COMO Le Montrachet, will open its doors on 15th April 2023. Situated in the heart of Burgundy, one of the world’s most prestigious wine regions, the hotel is a  celebration of French gastronomy, hospitality and style. 

To create COMO Le Montrachet, COMO has sensitively reimagined Hotel le Montrachet, a 19th century ‘place du village’ inn located in the village of Puligny-Montrachet, Burgundy. The hotel  is housed across three heritage buildings arranged around the charming village square which  lies just steps from the legendary ‘Le Montrachet’ vineyard. Guests can choose from 30  individual rooms and suites. For this project, the COMO Group has again collaborated with  esteemed designer Paola Navone, who also designed COMO Castello del Nero in Tuscany. Navone’s redesign of COMO Le Montrachet is elegant in its translation of the ‘esprit du lieu’  and complemented by contemporary touches. The overall palette is inspired by the colours of  the Burgundy countryside with custom-designed furnishings specially curated for the hotel. 

Under the leadership of General Manager, Florian Bonnin, the hotel encompasses the best of  COMO. In keeping with the gastronomic traditions of the area, Le Montrachet Restaurant will reopen from 06 April 2023 with Executive Chef, Romain Versino overseeing the menu which  will change with the seasons in order to best showcase the produce from local farmers and 

suppliers. 

COMO Le Montrachet is an ideal getaway for oenophiles and wine connoisseurs. In addition  to Montrachet, one of the most renowned vineyards in the world, four Grand Cru vineyards and seventeen Premier Cru vineyards lie close to the hotel as well as the villages of Chassagne 

Montrachet, Meursault, Volnay and Pommard. The hotel’s own sommelier, André Berthier, is  available to take guests on private wine tastings and trips to local wineries. Guests can also  enjoy wine tasting workshops where they will visit a vineyard to learn about the vines and  enjoy wine samplings in the vineyards with the sommelier or vintner. 

Burgundy also has much more to offer visitors than just fine wine and is a year-round  destination. From cooking classes and bicycle tours, to scenic hikes and hot air balloon rides  over the vineyards, the region has something for everyone. Highlights include the local  Beaune jazz and classical music festival in July and August, the period “vendange” in mid August where the grapes are harvested, and the vivid change of colours in the vines in both  Spring and Autumn are sights to behold. 

“What differentiates COMO as a global lifestyle brand is our ability to develop our brand presence in truly unique locations. This is the case with COMO Le Montrachet”, comments Olivier Jolivet CEO of COMO. 

COMO Le Montrachet lies in the heart of the Burgundy countryside, it is easily accessible. The  hotel is only a one-and-a-half-hour drive from Lyon or a forty-minute drive from the private airport of Dijon. From Paris, the hotel is a three-hour drive or is an one-and-a-half-hour train  ride by the high speed TGV train to Le Creusot.
