Based on the Rue du Faubourg Saint-Nicolas in the heart of Beaune, the domaine holds parcels across a dozen appellations, with a particular concentration of Beaune premier cru sites on the north side of the town's hillside. The vineyards are farmed under a Reasoned Agriculture approach certified HVE Level 4, France's highest environmental certification tier, and every cuvée is bottled under DIAM cork to guard against cork taint.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe domaine is the largest single owner in the Cent Vignes appellation, farming 3.5 hectares of a total 3 planted on clay soil topped with silt, just north of Beaune at the foot of the hillside.
