The Cuvée pays tribute to the Duke of Burgundy Philippe le Bon (1419-1467), who gave his support when Nicolas Rolin, his Chancellor, decided to build the Hôtel-Dieu in Beaune in 1443.

In the South of the Meursault appellation, the Genevrières cover about 16.5 hectares. It is the “Dessous” which make up 75% of this Cuvée. The limestone gravels rest on a rock of fissured plates, optimal for the storage of water and the installation of the root system. The resulting wine is powerful and refined, with a silky texture and good body, both of which indicate good ageing potential.

"An exceptionally fine nose combining white flowers, citrus, and subtle mineral notes. The palate shows outstanding concentration without heaviness, the flavours unfolding seamlessly on the palate revealing a majestic wine with great terroir. Excellent structure and length suggest this wine will age beautifully. This cuvée is a blend of Genevrières dessous (majority) and Genevrières dessus."
