These wine regions share a similar geological base dating back to the Jurassic period. Millions of years ago, geological movements in the earth's crust created the Alps mountain range and collapsed the Bressan Rift, leading to the creation of a unique landscape with outcrops of different layers. These layers of rock are the legacy of different eras and are the source of the unrivalled wines of the Burgundy area.

Raised during the great tectonic movements that gave birth to the Alps, the numerous layers from the Jurassic period were revealed by an earthquake rupture in the Tertiary era. As a result of a common geological base that has been disrupted, soils that are very different from one another are found in very close proximity. More or less chalky and clayey, they are the heritage of very different eras. From the foothills to the top of the hillside, each parcel produces a wine with a unique history and qualities. In the Côte de Nuits, formed 175 million years ago, as in the Côte de Beaune, a little younger than 25 million years ago, an agglomeration of scree has created rendzines (shallow soils resulting from the decomposition of the limestone parent rock) and brown limestone soils. The roots of the vines sometimes reach up to ten metres, to draw the energy that gives so much character to the wines you taste.
