    Additional Info

    This Morey 1er Cru is thus named because it is a small continuation of the Gevrey-Chambertin Grand Cru Les Mazoyères, which may also be called Charmes.

    The vineyard is pruned to Guyot and Cordon, with higher trellising and careful plowing. Since 2010, viticultural and cellar work are carried out according to the lunar calendar.
