The 'En Vesveau' lieu-dit is located in the north of Saint-Aubin, right on the border with Meursault. The soils are free-draining, comprised of clay, sand, and a subsoil with a high limestone content. The soil composition causes the roots to grow deep for vital nutrients and water, producing a high flavour concentration within the fruit. Biologically active soil life is encouraged through vineyard tillage and permanent grass cover. These sustainable farming practices have led to the 'Quality France' and 'Terra Vitis' certifications.

Domaine du Château Philippe le Hardi (formerly Château de Santenay) was once the stately home of the first Duke of Burgundy, Philippe le Hardi, who received his duchy from his father, the King of France. Philippe is famous for banning the cultivation of Gamay in the Côte d’Or, saying in his edict of 1395 that only Pinot Noir could be used in the production of red wines from the already fabled slopes.
