Emblematic south of the Côte de Nuits: signature Pinot Noir as the exclusive king red - intense purple with mauve tints, vigorous and full-bodied with notes of ripe red fruits (cherry, raspberry), flowers (rose, violet), liquorice, undergrowth and a spicy touch evolving to leather and earth, firm structure and assertive character. No Grand Cru but 41 renowned Premiers Crus (Vaucrains, Saint-Georges). AOC (1936) between limestone marls south and stony alluvium north of the Meuzin.
