Dining
This superb rib-vaulted room supported by slender pillars was originally the cellar for the Cistercian monks of Gilly. Here they kept casks and barrels filled with wine from the Clos de Vougeot vines.
In such a setting full of character, the cuisine has to be flavoursome and sophisticated, accompanied by an excellent wine menu. No less than 15,000 bottles and 600 types of wine are aged in the Château's cellars.

Le Clos Prieur
For Jean-Alain Poitevin, cooking is a true vocation. He learnt his skills in Burgundy, at "Lameloise" in Chagney which allowed him to appreciate the region's riches and uncover the secret of the famous jambon persillé (Jellied ham with parsley). He then discovered the great champagnes when he joined Gérard Boyer's team at Crayeres in Reims. But he rediscovered Burgundy with delight, firstly at the Château de Chailly as sous-chef, then after being promoted to Chef, spent 9 years at the Hôtel de la Poste in Saulieu before his arrival at the Château de Gilly in January 2006.
Jean-Alain Poitevin gets his ingredients from local producers selected for their quality, especially with certain products such as snails, foie gras, Charolais beef.
