Les Cornillaux

Jocelyne, a retired winemaker, welcomes you to an authentic 19th-century winemaker's house, a fully restored former family home nestled on a south-facing hillside by the roadside, in the heart of the bucolic vineyards of the renowned Saint-Véran appellation, in the unspoiled Mâconnais countryside (protected as a ZNIEFF area for its rich flora and fauna). This residential hamlet sits on the first slopes of the picturesque village of Leynes, a charming and perfectly preserved wine-growing village typical of the Côtes Mâconnaises, boasting a remarkable heritage (12th-century Romanesque church, several castles, beautifully restored historic houses, wash houses, etc.). Nestled in an amphitheater within a magnificent cirque of vineyards beneath the wooded ridges of the Bois de Fée (a small protected forest within a Natura 2000 zone, renowned for its exceptionally rich ecosystem), in the gentle Arlois Valley (the only one in Burgundy whose unique geological features produce both white, rosé, and red wines from southern Burgundy and northern Beaujolais), facing a vast, wild forest massif, overlooking the Saône plain with the Bugey and Lyonnais mountains as a backdrop, the village enjoys a sublime, picture-postcard landscape and vineyard setting, adorned with splendid panoramic viewpoints (on a clear day, you can glimpse the Alps and the Vercors, all the way to Mont Blanc!). Spacious and comfortable gîte. A soothing, rustic country charm, blending vintage appeal with the unique atmosphere of a former rural home. Enclosed gravel courtyard with a sunny terrace. Pleasant balcony offering lovely unobstructed views of the surrounding vineyards and the village.

Composition: Semi-detached cottage adjoining barns and garages next to the owner's house (completely independent). Wi-Fi (fiber optic). Gas central heating.
