This "village" appellation takes its name from the town of Beaune. It covers about 410 hectares, of which 77% are rated Premier Cru. The main characteristic of the vineyards is its location, for all the vines grow on the East slope of the Montagne de Beaune (litterally Beaune mountain). The wines of the appellation are mostly reds (88%). The 25-acre "Les Cent Vignes" Premier Cru vineyard is located north of Beaune, and grows on a limestone soil rich in clay and covered with silt. This type of soil for its capacity to retain water plays a great part in the full-bodied structure and powerful aromas of the wines it produces. The name of this climat is an inheritance from the past; it comes from the name "Sanvigne" which was a former village that existed in the Roman era. Then, it disappeared and with it the memory of its name in such an extent that one day, people didn"t understand why a place planted with vines would be called "Sanvignes" (litterally "without vines")...so they changed its names for "Les Cents vignes".
