An attractive and charming hotel in lovely Puligny over looking a peaceful garden. Our twin room was spacious, comfortable, had good qualty beds and bed linen and a modern bathroom which functioned well. The price of the room I thought was fair for this location and represents reasonably good value. Staff were efficient, friendly and informative about the region. Breakfast offered a fairly limited choice, but the produce was good and tasty and at Euro 18 reasonable compared to other hotels locally. The hotel is owned by a local wine growing dynasty ( I think they have over 80 wines) and as you would expect their own products dominate the wine card, perhaps a little too much? As their wines veer towards the top end of the market there is limited choice for people who are trying to watch their budgets and buying by the glass is an expensive option. If you are staying more than a night I would suggest buying a bottle for your aperitif and asking them to keep what's left over in the bottle for the next days aperitif, it will cost far less than buying by the glass. The hotel has a fine dining restaurant, which unfortunately proved to be a big disappointment. We chose the cheaper of the 2 no choice set menus at 75 euro. Generally the plates were too wet and sloppy with too many foams and purees. Not my taste at all, but I would have accepted it until the main meat course of duck arrived. The flesh proved impossible to cut, let alone chew and was frankly inedible. Both the wine waiter and the front of house manager agreed the dish was not up to standard and took it away. There was a vague suggestion of being offered an alternative, but as this was the only meat dish available it was a somewhat empty gesture. Even though the house agreed the dish was bad, we were still charged for it and had to pay for it. To make things worse when the bill came my guests aperitif glass of champagne appeared on the bill bottle as a whole bottle, ( which we did get rectified) . The wine flight for the meal is given on advice of the sommelier, it is not costed in advance or pricing offered and the time. The final bill for this was, unsurprisingly, an arm and a leg. This meal was not this establishments finest hour, nor was the erroneous bill presented for it acceptable.
