From the Archive
Terroir: Located near the border with Vosne, kitty corner to Richemone and slightly lower on the slope. Sandy, stony soils, with slightly more clay than Richemone.
With the 2017 vintage, Pascal Mugneret decided to separate his Nuits Saint Georges 1er Cru Boudots bottling into its two unique, individual lieux-dits: Les Cras and La Richemone.
