Presentation
The name of this Climat is derived from that of the ancient Roman road that went up the hill towards Tonnerre.
Located on the right bank of the Serein river, facing the Grand Cru "Blanchots" Climat, the vines, which are planted on medium to steep slopes, benefit from western exposure.
The purity of the subsoil, which is very similar to that of the “Les Blanchots”, with scattered veins of blue clay, lend the wines their noble kinship.
