BEAUNE 1er Cru « les Aigrots » 2023

The Greeks called the holly “agria” (wild plant). The Romans latinised this into agrifolium, aquifolium.  This plot may have been given this name because it was covered by thorny plants before it was planted with vines.

Located next to the famous Clos des Mouches, in the middle of the slope, Les Aigrots faces east.

The stony soil of this vineyard is rich in loams and clay. 25 ares (0.6 acre) produce rich whites with mineral notes, perfect with shellfish, fish or poultry, and even with Comté cheese.
