The “Les Hauts Marconnets” vineyard is located at the upper part of the Savigny-lès-Beaune slope, facing south-east, close to the Premier Cru slopes of Beaune. The vineyard covers approximately 2.1 hectares on sandy and limestone soils, which contribute to the wine’s minerality and pure expression of Chardonnay.
