Vineyards and terroir: Les Culs de Beaujeu is a steep, southeast-facing Chavignol slope of pure Kimmeridgian limestone, with a little more clay than the neighboring Monts Damnés. It is one of the steepest marl slopes in the appellation. Pierre Martin's vines here are more than 35 years old and farmed with organic practices.
Family and history: Domaine Pierre Martin is a traditional, respected domaine in Chavignol, owned and run by Pierre Martin, who worked alongside his father, Yves, before starting his own domaine in the village.
