In 2010, the Ligniers purchased a third of a hectare of old vines (circa 1947) in this vineyard that sits just below the great premier cru Les Cailles in the southern part of Nuits-Saint-Georges. This cuvée displays a firm mineral backbone typical of its village of origin, but with a very Lignier sense of drive and freshness. Laurent employs a modest 15% new wood during its 18-month élevage.
