Vineyards & Viticulture
From a 0.25 hectare plot, the vines are situated in En Orveaux, adjoining Musigny. Farmed since 2016 en métayage, shared with Christophe Roumier.

Soils
In the southern part, the soil is deep and made up of clay with a low content of limestone; the northern part is mainly limestone rocks

Harvest & Vinification
The grapes are harvested into small plastic crates and undergo triple sorting upon arriving at the estate. Arnaud partly destems the fruit (he uses whole cluster fermentation with old vines) and tastes everything daily during vinification using native yeasts. The wine is aged in oak barrels (80% new, 20% one-year-old, from Tonnelleire François Frères) for 18 months on fine lees and is racked into stainless vats for the last month of elevage.
