Very small family owned winery.  The slightly eerie walk down into the dark 13th century cellar is a very cool experience.  The winery produces a number of Grand Crus and most wines require at least 5 years of aging (which is great is you are taking home) but we were also able to buy a couple that were almost ready to drink (which we did!) and they were delicious.
