Les Chaumes is a 6.46-hectare Premier Cru vineyard situated in the commune and appellation of Vosne-Romanée , which is located in the Côte de Nuits sector of Burgundy. Les Chaumes lies immediately downslope from Aux Malconsorts and La Tâche, and adjacent to the border with Nuits-St-Georges, as the hill levels out heading toward Route National-74. The soil is accordingly a little richer and deeper and with a somewhat higher proportion of clay. The vineyard faces East from an elevation of about 250 meters.
The word chaumes is related to the word charmes, derives from the Latin calmis and means field or pasture.
A superb example of Les Chaumes is made by Louis-Michel Liger-Belair at Domaine du Comte Liger-Belair.
