Bagnols, France
Château de Bagnols
A 13th-century fortress in the Beaujolais hills, Château de Bagnols earned a Michelin Key in 2024 for a restoration that kept the moat, fortified towers, and Renaissance wall paintings intact while fitting 19 rooms with 17th-century antiques and silk furnishings. Dinner in the Salle des Gardes, with a wine list anchored around the ten Beaujolais crus and the great Burgundies next door, makes the case for this corner of southeast France as a serious destination for wine-centred stays.
