Five producers have access to the small lieu-dit of Les Grèves. 98% of the vines are now grafted to Pinot Noir but Andrew has the honour of working with the remaining Chardonnay. The fifty-year-old vines are sitting mid-slope in gravely limestone-marl with sandstone. Many have argued for the promotion of this site to Grand Cru status. The grapes are whole cluster pressed into tank where the juice settles for 36 hours before being racked off the gross lees. The wine ferments and ages in 400L barrels of varying ages. The wine is bottled unfined and unfiltered.
