Located east of “Clos Saint-Jacques,” this climat is one of the highest in Gevrey-Chambertin. Facing due east, an oak forest protects the vines from harsh weather, making it very favorable for cultivating Pinot Noir. Characterized by a steep slope, the shallow soils are generally very stony across the plot, though predominantly marly towards the top of the plot.
