      • The soils are slightly richer than those in the neighboring Griotte-Chambertin.
      • The soils are slightly deeper than Clos de Bèze.
      • Plots nearest the D974 are largely on Comblanchien limestone.
      • Plots nearer the Routes des Grand crus share the band of Calcaire à Entroques.

• Red Wine from Pinot Noir grapes
• The sturdiest of all grand crus downslope of the Route des Grand crus, which are known for being lighter and more delicate than those upslope.
