.23 ha on a southeast-facing slope of light-colored clay and limestone with small white rocks, planted in 1988. The domaine’s holdings in premier cru Clos des Aigrots, from which both white and red are made, date back to 2005. Steelier than the Meursaults, it is taut with stony mineral notes, the weight on the finish speaking of its premier cru status. Aged for 15 months in 10% new wood.

William Kelly (Wine Advocate) 

"The 2023 Beaune 1er Cru Clos des Aigrots Blanc is also attractive, revealing aromas of peach, pear, spices and toasted nuts, followed by a medium-bodied, ample palate that's pure and mineral."
