The parcel Combe-Dessus is well-situated in the center of the vineyard, at the foot of the premier cru vineyards. The vines are old vines producing small, concentrated grapes.
Combe-Dessus expresses powerfully and with concentrated colour the terroir of Gevrey-Chambertin.
The aging occurs in oak barrels over 12 to 18 months, with the proportion of new oak varying from 30% to 100% depending upon an analysis, tasting, and evaluation of each vintage |

The estate is made of the vines that they manage, whether they are family properties or rented vineyards. This is the place they work on the full process, from the vine to the bootle, with one aim : emphasizing the individual expression, richness and subtlety of each of the vines.
