The plots cover an area of 6.51 hectares in the communes of Vosne-Romanée, Vougeot and Flagey-Echezeaux. The estate produces five appellations: Clos-Vougeot (1.36 ha), Grands-Echezeaux (0.50 ha), Echezeaux (0.55 ha), Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru "Aux Brûlées" (1.16 ha) and Vosne-Romanée Village (2.87 ha).

The wines undergo a cold maceration before alcoholic fermentation and gentle extraction of the skins, ageing then follows 12 months for the villages and 15 for the 1er and Grands Crus.
