Beaune vineyards are the most extensive of the Cote de Beaune, between Savigny to the North, and Pommard to the South. There are no Grands Crus vineyards in this commune, but 36 Premiers Crus. Les Greves is situated in the North between Les Toussaints, Les Bressandes and Les Theurons. In French,Greves means sandy, small stones, which describes the soil of these vineyards. It is the largest Beaune Premier Cru vineyard. Grapes are harvested by hand and put in small cases in order not to damage the fruits. Grapes are pressed softly, they ferment in oak barrels produced by our cooperage. 1/3 are new barrels. Aging usually lasts 15 months on fine lies before bottling.
