"This 5.24-hectare vineyard, located near the Epenotes and Boucherottes Premier Crus on the Pommard side, takes its name from the beech trees that once grew there. Rodolphe Demougeot cultivates half a hectare of it, planted 55 years ago. He produces a stunning Beaune Village from it, with an attractive garnet color and a cherry nose slightly enhanced by vanilla from 12 months in barrel. The palate is full-bodied and deep, with firm yet refined tannins, refreshed by a touch of acidity, before lingering into a long, licorice-tinged finish. Character and solid potential.” (Le Guide Hachette des Vins 2022)

Bettane & Desseauve
Rated estate (2022 guide): 3 stars (High-quality production, setting the standard in its sector)
About the estate:
Although he has been based in the town of Meursault since 1998, Rodolphe Demougeot has been developing his estate since 1992; its core 7.8-hectare vineyard consists mainly of a fine selection of Pommard and Savigny-lès-Beaune crus. The red wines, made from meticulously sorted grapes—whole or destemmed—and vinified in concrete tanks, possess an energy that ensures they are drinkable even in their youth, with a rich, full-bodied style well-suited for restaurants and those who prefer to drink their wines young. The whites, meanwhile, offer a crisp, clean, and structured profile.

About the estate:
Rodolphe Demougeot founded his winery in 1992. He primarily produces full-bodied, intense red wines that age exceptionally well. Today, they are harmonious, having shed the harsh finishes that characterized past vintages.
