Jockovino

Les  Aigros is a large 18.64 hectare Premier Cru climat within the Beaune appellation in Burgundy’s Côte de Beaune.  The vineyard is located in the southern sector of the appellation near the Pommard border,  downhill from the Montaigne Saint-Désiré just uphill from the Premier Cru vineyard Les Sizies. Les Aigros is quite steep, rising from 250 meters to over 310 meters at its top. Facing due east from the slope, with rocky limestone soil rich in clay, the grapes reliably reach full ripeness and produce round and rich wine. Fine examples from this vineyard come from Domaine Lafarge and Domaine de Montille.
