The Domaine de Verchant contains 22 luxury bedrooms and apartments, and beautifully combines simple, stylish contemporary furniture with the charm and character of antique stone. All the alterations were carried out by Raymond Morel, who had redesigned the prestigious Murano and Kube private mansions in Paris. The decoration of the Domaine de Verchant reflects the varied influences of Italian designers including Poltrona, Moroso, Casa Milano and Nanimarquina. Meanwhile, the facilities are resolutely geared towards the hi-tech, with ergonomic, top quality equipment. 1582: a key date in the history of the Domaine
On 1 February 1582, the Bishop of Montpellier granted Pierre De Verchant a "domaine", or estate, which took on his name, and remained in his family for two centuries. On 23 September 1878, Jules Leenhardt acquired the site and the mansion inspired by the I8th century "Folies Montpelliéraines" built in the heart of the exceptional park. He lavished particular attention on the latter, calling in the Bühler brothers, who were eminent Swiss landscape architects of the time. To establish the European reputation of the farm and vineyard, 60,000 American vines were introduced to the 45-hectare VERCHANT vineyard, where today we still invite visitors to come and sample our vintage wines all year round. |
