Côte de Beaune | 100% Chardonnay | Régional

Presentation of the appellation

This appellation overlooks the Côte de Beaune from the west, from Maranges to Ladoix-Serrigny. The vines at the foot of the limestone cliff benefit from sunny slopes. The substratum is dominated, especially in the south, by marl formations. The slopes, which are sometimes very steep, are frequently covered with limestone scree inherited from the Bajocian cliffs.
