The estate even has holding in some of the most prestigious monopoles including ‘Chevalier-Montrachet La Cabotte’ and ‘Beaune Grèves Vigne de l’Enfant Jésus’.

The acquisition of such a vast array of vineyards didn't happen overnight.

The cellars that run 10m deep underground beneath the Château de Beaune is the storage location for the development and ageing of the wines.
