Description:
In the north of the appellation of Beaune and exposed to the East, you can find parts of the faces of old limestone quarries with various fine limestones. The clay-limestone soils of “Perrières”, which are shallow and poor due to the steep inclination, produce a powerful and structured red wine with a perfect ageing potential.
