Terroir:
‘Regnard’ is a lieu-dit in Gevrey-Chambertin, off Morey-Saint-Denis, next to D974. It is situated on a plateau surrounded by groves and dirt roads, and the marly soil is covered with scree. The plot faces the southeast, and offers an ideal orientation for the grapes to reach good maturity. The name ‘Regnard’ suggests the occupation of foxes on this land.
