About the Vineyard
The village of Auxey-Duresses lies on the threshold of a valley that runs from the Côte de Beaune into the Hautes-Côtes de Beaune on the way to La Rochepot, with its emblematic glazed-tile castle, and the Morvan region. Nestling back from the two flagship communes of Volnay and Meursault, the vineyard covers just 170 hectares, 130 of which are given over to red wines.
The vineyards are planted on very stony, marl-limestone soils.
