Vineyard Notes
Established since the Middle Age, in the north of the Côte de Beaune, this very hilly vineyard covers the hillsides of Aloxe-Corton and Savigny-lès-Beaune. The diversity of its soils and its exposure give a strong identity to each "Cru". 53 ha of this production area is planted with Chardonnay (White), including 7 Premiers Crus on 17.60 ha : Sous Frétille, Caradeux, Clos Berthet, Clos du Vilage, Quarters, Morand, and Village of Pernand. We own 0.94 ha of this appellation.
