Club: DC4MS.com | The Vinter’s Club is a private club for wine aficionados. While in residence, members enjoy access to local vintner's cellars of prestige, which are not available to the general public. Certain of these vintners are also available to assist at members' wine events. Five Star Hospitality. Each estate has full, on-location concierge service, on-site staff for daily housekeeping and an al la Carte Chef in residence to provide daily meals and exceptional 10-course gourmet evenings with wines paired to each course. Each estate has a premier motorcar and a bilingual driver, if desired, for members' use. Charter Memberships begin at $300,000 at the Imperiale level, $170,000 at the Double Magnum level and $85,000 at the Magnum level. Membership prices increase as additional properties are developed. Club Membership is for 30 years and the Membership fee is 80% refundable at any time subject to policies and procedures. Grand Estate. The Club's first Grand Estate, Domaine Montagny, is an historic 15th century chateau in one of the premier wine regions of the world, Burgundy's Cote d'Or. The charming city of Beaune, just minutes away, features some of the finest examples of medieval architecture, France's highest concentration of Michelin-starred restaurants and several of the world's most famous vineyards. Two of the most important vineyards, Romanee Conti and Le Montrachet, are only 15 minutes from Domaine Montagny. The property features over 13,000 square feet of buildings including a winery, wine tasting room, Club wine cellar, members' wine lockers and library. The 13 th Century enclosed park landscaping is highlighted by fabulous gardens and entertainment pavilion. Club Wine Collection. The Club features exclusive, members only, access to a significant rare and collectable wine collection of substantial worth, featuring difficult to acquire vintages such as 1929 Petrus, 1947 Corton and 1953 Chateau Lafite-Rothschild. Cliff Young's Burgundy is licensed to import, which facilitates wine acquisitions by members. The cost of wine acquisition is significantly reduced through Club purchasing services. Wine experts agree that Cliff Young's Burgundy wine collection may be one of the most significant and important collections in the world. Each Grand Estate has a winery, a wine cellar specializing in rare and premium wines from each property's region, and personal wine cellars for members and their guests. Domaine Montagny is the name given by Cliff and Sharon Young. The property has also been known as Motte du Poil in the 13th, 14th and 15th centuries; Domaine Marquis et Marquise de la Borde in the 17th century; and Maison Pignolet in the 19th century. Real Estate professionals have stated that the valuation of 3.2 million euro is dependent upon provenance, level of renovation, proximity to Beaune, preserved country setting, the sheer size which provides protection from other building development, the luxurious gardens and landscaping, as well as the beautiful antiques and other haut-gamme furnishings.
