It is the only village appellation in Burgundy to make the 3 colors of wine: Red, Rosé, and White.
The vineyard is situated on the far southern edge of the appellation of Marsannay, above the village of Couchey. It faces south and has a soil mostly composed of Comblanchien limestone. Many different types of southern Mediterranean plants grow at the top of this parcel, making it very unique. The vines are massal selection and about 40 years old.
Completely de-stemmed, aged in barrel for 24 months. Given the powerful style of this lieu-dit, we have chosen to age a portion of the wine in new oak.
