History

For much of it's early history the vineyards of Burgundy were owned by the Church. After the French Revolution the vineyards were sold and divided. Many vineyards were ravaged by World War II. After the war, they were returned to their former glory, but over production and overuse of potassium dulled the flavor of the wine. In 1985, the wineries changed production strategies and as result, has led to a more complex wine.
