The assembling of these 4 parcels gives an elegant wine, with relatively supple tannins for this appellation. It stands as an "intermediary" between Vosne-type wines and Nuits-type wines.

Four parcels contribute to the composition of this cuvée, all of them are located in the Northern part of Nuits 
Saint Georges, in the direction of Vosne, in the following "climats":

• Les ATHÉES : intensely dark red and deep soils situated on the alluvial deposits of the Meuzin valley;
• Les LAVIÈRES : a place where flat stones called "laves" can be found. Those stones were used in the past for roofing;
• Les BAS DE COMBE : this vineyard area is located just at the limit of Vosne Romanée, in the top part of the Réas valley;
• La PERRIÈRE-NOBLET : "perrière" means "quarry". It is located on a steep slope of hard limestone (White Oolite).

Traditional vinification. The transfer into barrels takes place a few days after de-vatting for an eighteen-month  stay. The average proportion of new oak barrels is 30% to 50% depending on the vintage.

Earthy and mildly sauvage-suffused red berry scents lead to solidly voluminous and punchy medium-bodied flavors that terminate in robust, rustic and very Nuits-like finish. At least some patience advised. Drink: 2029+
