It’s easy to find the family’s vines here, as Gérard’s father, Jean, had a stone marker set on the vineyard’s down-slope wall. Another family parcel upslope, with older vines, is in lieu-dit ‘Les Grand Maupertuis.’ Downslope soils are deeper, with more clay; upslope soils are thin, closer to the “mother rock” of Burgundian limestone.
