Description
  • The history of wine-producing Burgundy goes back to ancient times and the vineyard parcel names demonstrate this. The Latin origin of "Maltroie", "Marturetum", leads us to believe that this parcel lies on the top of an ancient burial ground dating to before the IV century. Situated on a slight incline at an altitude of 240-255m, this parcel of almost 3 hectares profits from a south-easterly exposure and stony clay soils.
