History
This wine comes from a plot which used to be planted with Pinot Noir (the grapes going into the Beaune Cuvée Cyrot-Chaudron). The old Pinot vines were recently pulled up, and the land replanted in 2010 with Chardonnay. The soil is stony and limerich, with white marls – well suited to white wine production. It is high on the hillside, near the source of the Lulunne stream.
