Etymology
In Beaune, Les Teurons and Les Bas de Teurons are large plots that spread over the Montagne de Beaune slope. Their name, derived from Old French Tureau, indicates they are situated on a hill. The Old French Turel, Tureau, Thurel “knoll, hill”, probably comes from a Pre-Indo-European root *TOR “height, hill”. This noun has helped form a lot of place names in Burgundy with many different spellings: Theurot, T(h)orey, Turot.

The vineyard plot(s)
Chardonnay selection planted on 161-49 rootstocks. Situated as its name suggests in a small, enclosed vineyard surrounded by high walls which help create a particular microclimate: the walls shield the vines from the wind and the heat absorbed in the stone during the day is given off at night.
The soil and subsoil
Brown limestone on a subsoil from the Bathonian period. Typical red soil rich in clay and iron oxide which when planted with Chardonnay makes for smooth, opulent wines.
The vinification
According to the vintage conditions.
The exposition
South-east facing plot on the edge of the town of Beaune at the foot of the slope.
