This large plot with the name meaning “fields at the foot of the hill” climbs the hillside behind Beaune, towards Pommard. The vines have full south exposure, and produce both white and red wine. The Pinot Noir in its lower part has plenty of clay in the soil, giving powerful wines with colour, while the high proportion of iron often brings out smoky notes. The grapes were handpicked into small crates, then sorted, 50% whole grapes and the rest destemmed. The wine stayed on the skins for 20 days in temperature-controlled open oak vats. Pigeage (punching down the cap) was done twice a day during alcoholic fermentation. 100% malolactic fermentation. The wine was aged entirely in new oak barrels. Duration of barrel ageing : 20 month
