Montagny-Lès-Buxy brings together landscape, outdoor activity and winegrowing: Chardonnay vines shape the surroundings, two circular routes explore the village and vineyards, and a picnic is possible at the Croix Saint Morille. The village also has the Church of Saint-Vincent, with details from different periods, and a wine estate that offers visits by prior arrangement.
Wine Country and Walking Routes
The vineyards around Montagny-Lès-Buxy are planted with Chardonnay. The village lies in a natural amphitheatre that opens onto the Chalonnaise plain. The Sentier Viticole du Montagny passes through the village and vineyards. This waymarked circular route is 4 km long and starts at the village entrance. Along the route are eight themed information panels, adding another layer of interpretation to the walk. The village and the vines thus meet on a route with themed stops. Check the waymarking and route conditions before setting out.
Le Montagny offers a different route. The circular walk starts and ends in Montagny-Lès-Buxy, is 7 km long and has an elevation gain of 222 m. It follows vineyard paths to the Croix Saint Morille, where a picnic is possible. By comparison, the Sentier Viticole is shorter at 4 km; Le Montagny offers different route distances, at 7 km with an elevation gain of 222 m. You can choose your route based on its stated length and elevation gain.
Another option for walkers is the GR 76 long-distance trail, which passes through Montagny-Lès-Buxy. Check the current waymarking before setting out.
Church of Saint-Vincent
The Church of Saint-Vincent in Montagny-Lès-Buxy preserves a stucco altarpiece from the 17th century. Beneath the bell tower, it also has a section that may be of Romanesque origin. Two different periods are thus represented: the altarpiece dates from the 17th century, while the Romanesque origin of the building section remains a possibility. Visitors interested in architectural history will find a specific furnishing and a carefully qualified earlier building phase here.
Wine Visits by Appointment
Domaine Berthenet et Fils offers visits to the Montagny appellation and its cellars by prior arrangement. The wine estate also welcomes groups for tastings in its tasting cellar by appointment. Booking in advance is therefore part of planning a visit: arrange a visit or group tasting as a scheduled appointment.
Tailor Your Stay to Your Interests
When looking for a hotel in Montagny-Lès-Buxy, consider what you would like to focus on during your trip: the wine routes, the landscape of the natural amphitheatre, the church’s architectural history or a visit to the estate arranged in advance. For walks, it is a good idea to check the waymarking and route conditions; prior booking is essential for visits and group tastings.
