Nowhere in the Côte de Beaune does the Chardonnay grape do better than it does here. A small amount of red wine is produced here, though white definetely dominates:
The subsoil is mainly composed of clay and limestone. The grapes for this wine were harvested from different vineyards located both on the flatlands and on the slopes. The vines enjoy southern and south-eastern exposure.

Winemaking
The grapes were hand-picked and sorted manually as soon as they arrived at the winery. They were then pressed in a pneumatic press which allows for perfect extraction of the juices without over pressing the grapes. Vinification and ageing took place in wooden barrels with a proportion of 20% new oak.
