The Lequin vines are south facing, high on the hill overlooking Aloxe-Corton - Francois says "un terroir trés solaire". Still quite tight on the nose; but this opens out beautifuly in the glass, with a lovely ripeness of fruit... Read More

Burgundy
The Burgundy Pyramid Making sense of the complexity of the complexity of Burgundy isn’t easy. Though Burgundy only comprises 5% of France’s vineyard area, it holds 100 different Appellations, 25% of the entire French total.

The Lequin vines are south facing, high on the hill overlooking Aloxe-Corton - Francois says "un terroir trés solaire".
