Burgundy Wine Village Upset at the Sale of Iconic Castle to Chinese Businessman

Imagine a medieval village in a celebrated wine region of Burgundy surrounded by rolling hills of bountiful vineyards.

In the village sits a castle which has been owned by the same family since the 1800s.

Now imagine that the castle has been sold to a Chinese businessman who closed it to the public.

It happened in the village of Gevrey-Chambertin in eastern Burgundy.

The World’s Adeline Sire tells anchor Marco Werman that the villagers, who fear losing part of their cultural heritage to China, are upset.
