Clos de Vougeot
Sunday morning, we headed to the Chateau du Clos de Vougeot. It was built in the 12th century by monks who needed red wine for mass.
The chateau surrounded by its vineyards. The chateau does not run the vineyards, nor does it sell any wine on the premises any more.

Wine making barn on the right. Cellars on the left. The cellars are above ground because the limestone was too hard.
One of four massive wine presses in the wine making barn. Each press can hold four tons of grapes at a time.
Dijon
Our last stop was Dijon, the capital of Burgundy.
Palais de Ducs or Ducal Palace. It now houses the Fine Arts Museum.
St-Michel. Completed in the 17th century.
Notre-Dame. One of the oldest churches in Dijon, built in the 13th century.
