Controlled appellation Our Bourgogne Hautes Côtes de Beaune is harvested on a plot situated in a privileged location in the heart of Maranges, near the village of Santenay. The steep hillside is exposed east / south / east and the vine covers about one hectare.

Local soil Mainly clay and limestone mixed upon old marls.

Wine-making Manuel handy harvested in small boxes. In the winery, a strict selection of each grape is done by hand on a conveyor and a destemming is done. Following, a long fermentation in open wooden vats is done during 18 days before a pneumatic press. Without pumping and by gravity, the future wine is transferred down in the cellars into oak barrels.

Maturation is partly made in oak barrels and in stainless vats.
