Located on a hillside with a south-east exposure, this one-hectare parcel lies on predominantly limestone soil, enhanced by a harmonious balance of silt, sand, and clay.
The name “Teurons” or “Theurons” is thought to derive from the Latin Turno, meaning “small elevation of land,” a topographical feature that is indeed characteristic of this lieu-dit.
Deep in color, this wine stands out for its complexity and power while maintaining a fine sense of balance. It pairs beautifully with œufs en meurette, stewed meats, feathered game, and pressed-curd cheeses such as Cîteaux, Saint-Nectaire, or Reblochon.
