Lieu-dit La Corvée de Bully, near Pernand-Vergelesses. Iron-rich clay soil. A second varietal experiment from the same site as the Riesling — Merlot, like Riesling, carries no AOC entitlement in Burgundy and is therefore labeled Vin de France. Nicolas’s curiosity about what this iron-rich clay produces with varieties beyond the Burgundian canon is the engine behind both experiments.
