At just over 5 hectares, this is one of the largest monopole vineyards in Burgundy. It is managed biodynamically and with utmost respect not only for the vineyard, but for the expression of its constituent parts. Benjamin now conducts a tasting of those four parts; the first is higher up with austere, stony soils and a solid bedrock. It gives a supple, mature style with great richesse. The wine from younger vines is less intense but with freshness and elegance.

After a seven year apprenticeship, the capable Paul Zinetti has taken over here and done an exceptional job under tricky conditions. Fully organic since 2005 and now certified as biodynamic, the lower parts of the vineyard are worked by horse and the reduced compaction is already resulting in a better soil structure.
Epeneaux is, of course, one of the great reds of the Cotes de Beaune.
