After experiencing the splendour of the Royal Court of Versailles, this vineyard, extending over nearly 5,000 hectares in 1830, was damaged by phylloxera and various wars. The Auxois region has been forgotten since the 19th Century until 1979, when the vineyard obtained the certification of Indication Géographique Protégée ''Côteaux de l' Auxois''. Through the purchase of 15 ha of vines in this terroir, spanning the villages of Villaines les Prévôtes and Viserny, Maison Simonnet-Febvre reveals its traditional and innovative vision of winemaking in ''Greater Burgundy''. | |
