The cellars and the winery are located in the center of the village of Aloxe-Corton in a magnificent and remarkable setting. The beautiful family property, built in 1764, is of typical Burgundy architecture, with accommodation on the first and second floors, store and winery on one level, and cellars in the basement. The cellars, certainly the deepest in the village, are particularly cold and humid. A well was dug there. These conditions, although sometimes a little spartan for tasting, are on the other hand particularly beneficial for the production and aging of great wines.
