Product notes
The Beaune vineyard, located between Savigny-les-Beaune to the north and Pommard to the south, is the largest in the Côte de Beaune. There are no Grands Crus in this commune, but 36 Premiers Crus. The Beaune vineyard is almost entirely located on steep slopes. Les Grèves is one of them. This generally red premier cru is located on the slopes of Mont Batois, facing Beaune, on light, sandy soil, hence its name. "Le Clos Blanc" was planted by Maison Jadot with Chardonnay in 1986.
