Description

Extending over 1.20 hectares (3 acres), this plot facing south south-east is the largest in the domaine. Its soil is composed mainly of limestone and sand.Named after a previous owner, Mr. Bataille, the vineyard lies next to the road from Beaune to Vergy (thus Vergelesses or, in 830, Vergelosses).These red wines are characterised by their richness and delicate aromas, and are a superb accompaniment for grilled young pigeon, bacon- or mushroom-based dishes

A fresher combination is comprised by notes of poached plum, violet and Savigny-style earth and underbrush. I very much like the texture of the relatively fine medium-bodied flavors that possess much better energy on the youthfully austere and well detailed finale.
