Bourgogne Dijon “Rente de Giron”
In 2017, Paul Aegerter responded to a call for tenders launched by the City of Dijon, and in 2019, the Domaine planted its first vines, bringing the historic vineyards of the Dukes of Burgundy back to life.

The terroir
Parcel
The lieu-dit La Rente de Giron, west of Dijon, lies between 356 and 387 m (average 369 m). Its east-south-east-facing slopes are planted in equal parts with Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. The terroir is made up of two geological units: Oolithe Ferrugineuse limestone at the bottom, and cream-colored marls interbedded with limestone at the top.

Our know-how
From vineyard to cellar
Winemaking
Hand-harvested. Once pressed, the bunches are placed in stainless steel tanks for vinification. The wine is aged for 9 months in one new 500-liter barrel, the rest in 228-liter barrels that have already held 1 to 2 wines.
