In Chasselas, in Saône-et-Loire, a castle built on a hillside arranges around its main courtyard three pepper-pot towers topped with glazed tiles. The buildings combine a 16th-century residential wing with a main house dating from the late 18th century, reflecting the successive alterations the estate underwent since the Middle Ages. The property now covers a 12-hectare vineyard, with a tasting cellar open all year round.
