We walked here from the nearby village of Corpeau where we were staying. This winery offered a fantastic vineyard and winery tour. We learnt a great deal about the cru classifications and the numerous regulations of the Burgundy wine region. We were also there during vintage, so the winery tour was very active. Lunch was also quite nice and the staff talking us through the matching wines over lunch were enthusiastic and friendly. Charles was particularly informative.
