STORY OF THE CUVÉE

Nicolas Rolin, Chancellor of the Duke of Burgundy Philippe le Bon, founded the Hôtel- Dieu in Beaune in 1443. From 1452, nursing sisters, who had been brought from Flanders, welcomed and cared for the first patients in the great Paupers’ Ward.

TERROIRS & DESCRIPTION

The Cuvée was enlarged in 1963 thanks to a legacy made by Madame Maurice Pallegoix in memory of her husband, who was mayor of Demigny. The oldest vines in the Cuvée are Les Cent Vignes, representing 54% of the surface, and Les Teurons (19%), which were respectively planted between 1953 and 1975, and 1950 and 1955.
