The house has taken on one of Burgundy's most remarkable revival projects: the resurrection of the Coteaux de l'Auxois appellation. In its 19th-century heyday the vineyard extended over nearly 5,000 hectares — celebrated at the Court of Versailles and prized across France. Then came phylloxera, two world wars, and the long slow abandonment of the land. Simonnet-Febvre has changed that, working with just 15 hectares of vines on ancient limestone slopes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePale gold with a bright luminous clarity.
