In the heart of a small rural hamlet bordering the vineyards of the famous "Saint-Véran" cru, nestled in the countryside on a well-exposed plateau overlooking the Saône valley on the borders of the Mâconnais & the Haut Beaujolais mountains, in the extension of the sumptuous landscaped jewel close to the Roches de Solutré & Vergisson labeled "Grand Site de France" (located 13 km away) & a vast wild forest massif.
