Due to its 35% slope, this vineyard is always worked with great apprehension and humility. It offers a magnificent panorama over the village of Vosne-Romanée, and sometimes a remarkable view of Mont Blanc. Due to the proximity of the vines of the climates of Vosne-Romanée, the wine produced is one of the most delicate of the Nuits-Saint-Georges appellation. 

Clear and brilliant robe, with a ruby to intense red colour. Fresh aromas of sweet jellied red fruits. On the palate, the moderate structure provides suppleness and lightness throughout - this is just superb and will repay cellaring!

Benoit is the 4th generation of Chevallier vignerons in Vosne-Romanée.  His father, Maurice – former mayor of Vosne-Romanée, who had owned and tended 4 hectares since 1971.  When Maurice retired in 2008, 90% of the family vineyards were rented out, Benoit managed the remaining 10% while simultaneously pursuing a promising career as an IT engineer at a local company. For 10 years tiny quantities came from 3 vineyards.

In 2018, Benoit decided the time was ripe to return to Vosne-Romanée to become a full time vigneron and take over the entire Domaine.  He recognized the need to be mindful of nature and immediately put his existing portion (10%) of the vineyards into organic conversion. Fortunately, the other 90% of the vines had been rented out to a local vigneron with outstanding experience of organic viticulture. They had been certified organic since 2012 and were in excellent health.
