Chambertin dates from 630 when Duke Amalgaire gave his elite vineyard to the monks of the abbey of Bèze. Later, in 1219, the abbey of Bèze re Located to northeast of Dijon and ceded this domain to the Cathédrale Saint-Mammès in Langres.

This wine brings to mind the morello cherry, one of the aromas that it develops. However, the name comes from "Criots", as in Criots-Bâtard-Montrachet, a reference to hard limestone soil. The sound "Cr" comes from the same root as "craie" (chalk in French), thus etymology and geology meet for this appellation.

The Bonnes-Mares appellation achieves a perfect synthesis between imposing stature and fleshy texture.

This Grand Cru is a close cousin of Chambertin. History did not mention it until 1508. At that time, Latricières was certainly mistaken for their royal neighbor: Chambertin. The etymology is quite mysterious: for some, no doubt poets, the origin is Frankish and means “little wonder”. For others, more realistic and undoubtedly more observant, it is the very nature of the soil that is used to name it: “La Tricière”, which means “poor land”.

Wine

The name originates from the presence of many small houses. Mazy-Chambertin is the northernmost Grand Crus appellation of Gevrey-Chambertin. It is divided into two parts: Mazy-Bas and Mazy-Hauts.

There formerly was a small oratory chapel a stone's throw from Clos de Bèze. It was built in 1155 and placed under the invocation of Notre–Dame, but it fell into disuse in the 14th century. This weighed heavily on the winegrowers so the chapel was rebuilt and consecrated again on July 4, 1457. The pious assembly gathered around Bishop Philibert de Beaujeu brought the fruits of his labor to paradise.

The first trace of Échezeaux dates back to the end of the 13th century. The monks of the Abbey of Citeaux, aware of the high quality of this terroir and of its wines, had exchanged plots to own a few parcels of Échezeaux.

This charming Grand Cru is located on the northernmost part of the Côte in the town of Gevrey–Chambertin. The production areas of the Charmes–Chambertin and Mazoyères–Chambertin appellations are the same, but the Charmes–Chambertin appellation is usually used for wine. The word “Charmes” in ancient Burgundy came from common fields cultivated and found in the fallow land. Thus, in Burgundy, “Charme” means ‘thatch’ or “straw”.

This clos (walled vineyard) in Morey-Saint-Denis owes its name to the presence of the rock outcrops on the surface. A large rock embankment crosses the Morey-Saint-Denis hillside from side to side. This rock embankment was exploited at an old quarry that once existed not far from this clos at the border of Morey Saint Denis and Gevrey-Chambertin.

Beaune is the heart of Burgundy and the capital of the wine region. Beaune attracts the eyes of the entire wine world during the annual sale of wines from its Hospices. It receives innumerable visitors to its flamboyant Hôtel-Dieu Museum, as well as the huge and silent cellars of the merchant houses and surrounding wine producing estates. Beaune also has one of the most extensive vineyards in the Côte. Called Pinot Vermeil in the times of the Dukes of Burgundy, this red wine has been renowned since the High Middle Ages for its youthful temperament. The Beaune Appellation (AOC) was established in 1936.

The Maranges vineyard, which is primarily a Pinot Noir red wine area, also has few Chardonnay vines. It forms the link between the Côte d'Or and the Saône-et Loire. It is perfectly consonant with Santenay, with which it shares several esteemed vintages.

Rully vineyards stretch for about four kilometers from Chagny where it has a few climats, to the southern limit of the Rully commune where it adjoins the Mercurey vineyards. This area has a remarkable limestone terroir with enough marl and clay for the Chardonnay grape variety to have found its land of choice. The red wines, which are in the minority, are tender and fruity with a beautiful liveliness that underlines their exquisite minerality.

This parcel as a whole is called Rosey but in the 18th century a small parcel called "Sept Ranches" appeared in the southwest corner near Plantenay. Ranche is a form for the word "ronce " from the Latin ‘RUMEX’ which means "small sorrel, a species of stinger plant". Other variants such as "ronche", "ronde" and "ronze" appear in the place-name history of Burgundy.

Wine

Extending to the south from Rully, the Mercurey vineyard is located on marl Limestone soils from geological formations of the Upper and Middle Jurassic, with a dominant of the latter, which appeals to the Pinot Noir grape variety.

Burgundy combines the ideal conditions for cultivation of pinot noir. In Burgundy, this grape reflects the tiniest variations of terroir on which it is planted, and thus expresses itself as nowhere else.
