Owners, Marc and Patrick Dumont, father and son, had a vineyard in Meursault, but seeing how ridiculous it was all getting, sold up, and decided to put their efforts into a small parcel of 5 hectares they had in the tiny appellation of Cruzille, at the most northern fringe of Macon, to see how far they could go with it. It's an area from which producers of Meursault, Chassagne-Montrachet, and Puligny-Montrachet, eagerly buy grapes, as they're allowed to put into their wines up to 20% from outside their own appellation. They took on a very good winemaker, Frederic Servais, who won winemaker of the year in 'Bourgogne Aujourd'hui', in 2017. The results are hugely exciting.
