From the Winery: "Our parcel of Bourgogne Rouge lies at the foot of a slope in the Meursault commune. This area is called “les Coutures” and borders the Meursault Limozin appellation. The soil here is clay limestone mix with a subsoil of gravel and the whole parcel is grassed. Because the vine roots must now fight for moisture this encourages a natural defence against disease and concentrates the sugars and tannins."
