In the 9th century, Charlemagne owned vines in the Côte d'Or. He requested that the best lands be cleared out and this parcel was constructed in the forest. Situated in the south-west of the village, this Monopole climat was purchased by the domaine in 2003 following a 50 year leasing agreement. It is the smallest appellation in Bourgogne even smaller than Romanée-Conti Grand Cru.
The grapes are harvested and sorted by hand. The proportion of de-stemmed grapes and whole clusters varies depending on the vintage. The wines are punched down daily in order to extract colour, tannins and aromas from the skin of the grapes. After a 19 day vatting period, the alcoholic fermentation is complete. The free-run wine is run off using a gravity system whilst the marc is pressed slowly and gently in order to extract an exceptionally pure press wine. The wines are aged for 16 months in French oak barrels (40-50% new oak and 50-60% one-wine barrels) which have been selected for their fine grain and moderate toast. The wines are left to age in our cellars at consistent, natural hygrometry and temperature.
