The Story
After experiencing the splendour of the Court of Versailles, this vineyard extending over nearly 5,000 hectares in 1830, was damaged by the phylloxera and world wars. Then forgotten by time, the Auxois is now reviving through fruity and fine wines. Located between Montbard and Semur-en-Auxois, our Coteaux de l'Auxois vineyard extends over 15 hectares. The vines are pruned in lyre style and enjoy beautiful south to south-easterly exposures in the communes of Villaines-les-Prévôtes and Viserny.
