In the vines
Grapes from 5 terroirs as follows : «En Sampagny», «En Leautier», «En la Brouade», «En Blungey» and «Aux Perches» on soils mainly made up of sandy marl as well as Bresse marl.
The location of the plots to the north and south of the village of Couchey, for the most part near the Route des Grands Crus, makes it possible to limit water stress and benefit from a good balance of ripeness.
