History of the Cuvee : Antoine Rousseau and Barbe Deslandes founded in 1645 the Hôpital de la Sainte-Trinité, subsequently renamed the Hospice de la Charité and associated with the Hospices de Beaune at the Revolution. The parcel of Cent Vignes, in which vines were mainly planted between 1944 and 1958, represents the heart of this Cuvee, or 48% of its composition. Looking down over Pommard and representing a third of the Cuvee, the parcel of Les Montrevenots is made up only of old vines, planted prior to 1966.
