It might be argued that this place - - in the Beaujolais (the very southernmost region of Burgundy) isn't "classic" Burgundy - - but I still recommend it solidly - - Chateau de Longsard - - http://www.chateauxandcountry.com/chateaux/longsard - - for more info.<BR><BR>Others will give equally strong raves (maybe even more so - - but it is more expensive) for Chateau de Gilly - - much nearer to Beaune (and thus, truly IN "classic" Burgundy).<BR><BR>Best wishes,<BR><BR>Rex<BR>

We really enjoyed Beaune. The Athenor Tulip Inn was very nice and convenient. The "hospital" is outstanding and the wine tasting excellent. We stayed there two nights and enjoyed 90% of it.<BR><BR>The only problem for us, we were there on 9/11 and our waitress told us of the WTC.<BR><BR>However a great place to visit and stay for a couple of days. You can also easily train to Dijon for the day as well.
