Once owned by a certain Mr. Bataille, this vineyard lies alongside the former road linking Beaune to Vergy, which explains the name Vergelesses (or Vergelosses in 830).
Clos de la Bataillère was already highly renowned in the 19th century. In 1855, Jules Lavalle, a botanist and naturalist and a pioneer of the classification of Burgundy climats, noted that La Bataillère ranked among the most highly regarded climats, describing it as a “tête de cuvée.”
Covering 1.87 hectares, the estate’s largest parcel benefits from an ideal south to south-east exposure.
Planted predominantly with Chardonnay over 1.30 hectares, it nonetheless retains, on the northern part of the clos, 0.5 hectares of old-vine Pinot Noir, bearing witness to the historical heritage of this unique site.
The soil is mainly composed of limestone and sand.
This red wine is characterized by delicate aromas and great finesse, pairing perfectly with grilled pigeon, mushroom-based dishes, or preparations featuring lardons.
