Our family’s move to Burgundy began to take shape in 2009, when we had the opportunity to acquire some plots of vines in Auxey-Duresses, including Les Riames.
The magic of this “climate” enveloped us. Its aspect, the softness of the landscape, the steepness of the slopes, the fine nature of the soil opened up an immense range of possibilities.
Above the hamlet of Melin, at an altitude of 380 m, Les Riames is made up of sloping plots mostly facing south or south-east, with chalk-marl soils and excellent natural irrigation.
The total area of these two plots is barely more than half a hectare (more precisely it is 13.65 “ouvrées”, or 5,841 m²), making it the smallest monopole in the Côte de Beaune as we are the sole owners of these plots.
Staying thankful for the good fortune that has allowed us to be present here and now.
Sharing the love we have for this region.
Helping the vines reach maturity.
And most importantly
Spreading the love for Les Riames to as many people as possible!
