Overview
Vineyards curve around the village at the head of a combe, continuing the geology of Volnay while turning onto varied exposures. Limestone-marl soils yield fragrant, fresh reds with red fruit and supple tannin, plus scarce, rounded whites.
Geography & Climate
The appellation occupies slopes around a recessed valley between Volnay, Auxey-Duresses, and Meursault.
Soils
Jurassic limestone and marl form stony brown soils with variable clay, scree, and iron-rich material.
Wine Styles
Red Pinot Noir dominates; a smaller amount of white Chardonnay is fresh, floral, and rounded.
