    Pike quenelles, Bresse chicken with truffles and crayfish risotto will accompany this fine vintage very nicely.

    Owner and history

    The vines have an average age of 45 years and are located at the southernmost edge of the Beaune appellation. This walled vineyard was once home to bees and beehives; its "honeybees" gave their name to this lovely plot near Pommard. The vineyard is planted with equal proportions of red and white grape varieties and produces some of the legendary wines of Maison Drouhin.
