Domaine du Vallon d'Or from above, house, tower, kitchen garden and pool

Domaine du Vallon d'Or

Mâconnais, Burgundy

Built around a closed courtyard, the farm keeps its tower, its gatehouse and a steward's lodging with a separate entrance, now home to a resident steward.

The barns now hold cold storage and a cellar sized for a full season, while the orchard has been replanted with grafted local varieties.

Heating comes from ground-source loops laid under the former paddock, invisible from every elevation.
