Like any accomplished Burgundian, he understands that the key to great wines begins in the vineyards. He believes that Comblanchien terroirs are hugely undervalued and that if they were to ever re-classify the hierarchy of Burgundy, there would most certainly be Premier Cru (if not Grand Cru) vineyards in the village’s choicest sectors. Like other top Cru vineyards in the Côte de Nuits, his original two lieu-dits in Comblanchien – \"Les Essards\" and \"Les Plantes Aux Bois\" – have 30-40 cm of topsoil before passing directly into the Mother Rock of limestone. His third parcel, \"Aux Vignottes\", produced since the 2015 vintage is located directly across from Mugnier's Nuits St Georges Clos de la Marechale, has deeper clay and is less stony that its Côte de Nuits Villages brethren. The vines in these sites are now well established at 50-60 years of age. In the vineyards, pruning is severe, with a goal of about 40 hl\/h, though in his first two vintages yields were closer to 27 hl\/h. Antoine began organic conversion in the 2016 vintage and is now farming biodynamically with close attention paid to the health and growth of the soils. He endeavours to minimally disturb the soils, and when ploughing takes place, it is with a horse to minimize compaction.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe brightness and verve of Antoine’s wines are paving a path for the future of Burgundy.
