Pascal is the 5th generation in a family of vignerons. But it was not until 1983 that he decided to launch his own domaine with his wife, Christine Bonheur, with a mere 3 hectares of rented vines. Today, the domaine comprises 8 hectares of vines scattered throughout the Côte de Beaune. The Les Crais parcel was planted in the 1950s on the north side of the appellation, deep in the valley, where there is a high content of active limestone. This is a powerful terroir with assertive stoniness and vivacious acidity. Pascal’s translation of it is a wine as potently energetic as the first cup of coffee in the morning.
