The Domaine notes some very unique qualities that make the terroir of this offering so special. "Three types of Premiers Crus may be found in Gevrey-Chambertin. The most famous are located in the vineyards of Côte St. Jacques. This slope, which extends from la Bossiere at the entrance of the valley in Champeaux, was given its name in the 19th century. Another string of climats is located beneath the Grands Crus. Finally, it is the best parcels of the alluvial cone at the far end of the valley that merit this name. Gevrey is one of the two most well-endowed vineyards in the Côte de Nuits. This climat, a plot of land which has been recognized for centuries, produces a wine of unique personality. The exposure is due south. This Premier Cru is situated on the slopes of Côte St. Jacques.
