Largest Grand Cru in the Cote de Nuits (123.2 acres).
Largest “clos” in the Cote d’Or.
100 parcels divided among 80+ owners.
Good examples tend to be lusher and spicier than Chambertin and La Tache, but with less intensity and definition.
![Page 20: Terroir: the Soul of La Côte d’Or, Côte de Nuits](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052508/559c93931a28aba0128b45b4/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Top of the slope, bordering Musigny and Echezeaux, is best. Soil is pebbly, oolitic limestone of Bathonian origin, and is well-drained.
Mid-slope, the soil becomes Bajocian limestone with pebbles and clay. Drainage is good.
Lower slope, the soil is more alluvial, deeper, and drains less well.

The best “terroir” of the village
Most notably - Les Saint-Georges, Les Cailles, Les Poirets, Les Vaucrain, Les Pruliers
