The Story
The ancient local grape variety of César (or Romain) is planted on approximately five hectares of land around the village of Irancy. As a variety, it is increasingly rare to find because of difficulties in achieving full ripeness in the grapes. It has very unique characteristics, and in the best of years produces wines that will keep for a great length of time.
