Les Fuées” is a parcel of 71 ares located on the edge of the Bonnes Mares appellation zone, on the hillside just north of the village of Chambolle. This vineyard was planted in 1960. It produces few, but magnificent grapes with small berries spaced out, very colourful with a thick skin.

Annual production varies between around 1,500 and 3,500 bottles.

“Les Fuées” is said to be a traditional Burgundian word referring to “the area of vines that a man can plough in a day with a hoe”. (Marie-Hélène Landrieu-Lussigny: Le vignoble bourguignon ; ses lieux-dits. Jeanne Laffitte éditeur)

This terroir has a very strong personality among the Premier Crus of Chambolle-Musigny. Less floral than the other sectors of the village, it offers a more mineral, earthy nuance than Chambolle village or Les Amoureuses, with a base of black fruits.

Full-bodied and deep on the palate, with a very straightforward attack.

A minimum of five years’ ageing is necessary for full expression. Vintages for laying down will easily age for twenty to thirty years.
