The plots are in the Vaucoupin Chichée village. They are very steep and facing south, with an average age of 40 years. The total area is 1.45 hectares. The vines are planted on Kimmeridgian marl consisting clay and limestone.

The wine is expressive and lively. Rich and generous in the mouth, it is round and well-balanced with a lovely mineral structure, finesse and complexity.
