Origins
The vineyards form a V, with the two branches separated by the alluvial cone of the Rhoin. As a result, we find a diversity of terroirs, ranging from gravelly, iron-rich soils on the Pernand-Vergelesses side, to reddish-brown limestone with more clay on the way down the hillside, to sandier soils on the opposite slope. This diversity produces the fruity, supple wines that are so characteristic of the appellation.
The appellation covers 383 hectares: 144 hectares of vines are classified as 1er cru and 85% of the surface area is given over to red wines.
Vinification and maturing
Vinification in oak vats followed by barrel ageing for 8 months, in 15% new oak.
