Aux Brûlees is a 4.53 hectare Premier Cru vineyard in Vosne-Romanée that lies just to the north of Les Veroilles ou Richebourgs. Facing south from an elevation averaging 280 meters, the soil is mostly hard limestone. The origin of the vineyard name, which means burnt in French, is consistent with the hot, southern exposure. Alternatively, it could suggest that the vineyard was originally burned as a means of clearing it for viticulture.
