The Vieilles Vignes has huge complexity on the nose, with citrus, herbs and a dusty mineral note. On the palate, good acidity balances the richness of the body, and there is a touch of zest on the long and smooth finish.

All fruit is sourced from vineyards within the family Domaine, located in the village of Rémigny in the Côte d'Or. The total area under vine is 23 hectares spread across the villages of Bourzeron, Santenay, Chassagne-Montrachet and Puligny-Montrachet. The two vineyards, Les Grandes Terres and Champ Morgeot, sit at an altitude of 300 metres and the soils are deep clay. Although there are not many stones, it drains really well due to its altitude. In the vineyard, brothers Pascal and Laurent adopt an approach of 'lutte raisonnée', meaning that they will do everything in their power to avoid the use of pesticides.

Domaine Borgeot is situated in the village of Rémigny in the Côte de Beaune. Created in 1903, it is now run by the fourth generation of the Borgeot family: brothers Laurent and Pascal. Their 23 hectares of sustainably-farmed vineyards are in the villages of Bouzeron, Santenay, Chassagne-Montrachet and Puligny-Montrachet. The magic of Domaine Borgeot lies in the two people making these charming wines. As the saying goes in Burgundy, if you look at the person behind the wines, you will get an idea of the style of wine in your glass. Domaine Borgeot wines exhibit the calm and measured restraint of Pascal, balanced with the exuberance and liveliness of Laurent
