A distinctive feature of the estate, this parcel is the only one within our mosaic of Beaune terroirs to be classified as a Village appellation, while all the others are Premier Crus.
Covering an area of 10 ares, it is located on the upper part of the hillside, just above the Marconnets. It will charm you with its finesse and elegance and pairs perfectly with cured meats and grilled meats.
