Discreet AOC of the Côte de Beaune next to Chassagne-Montrachet and Puligny (AOC 1937): Chardonnay signature as king white (~75%) — golden robe with floral aromas (hawthorn, acacia) and fruit (citrus, yellow fruits), signature notes of flint, green almond and a vanilla oaked touch, firm and flattering. Pinot Noir as king red (~25%) — silky vivid texture with red and black fruit and spicy notes, fine tannins. 30 climats in 1er Cru on three-quarters of the vineyard.

Some lively Aligoté and light Gamay (Mâconnais). 29,500 ha, 84 tiered AOCs (Régionale, Village, 1er Cru, Grand Cru), 1,247 UNESCO Climats.
