In the Côte des Vaillons, there are 8 distinct lieux-dits which may be at the origin of this appellation. The nose is pronounced with notes of fruit and flowers, beautiful freshness and minerality. The palate is generous and refined, with a beautiful roundness.

Premier Cru Montmains has a very distinctive terroir: very stony, giving a wine with pronounced mineral aromas, extraordinary power and excellent ageing potential. Full-bodied, nervous and mineral, with good length on the palate. Straightforward and fresh at the same time, with exemplary concentration.

With a geological structure similar to the Grands Crus and a very beautiful exposure, the Montée de Tonnerre terroir ranks among the “greatest” of the Premiers Crus.  Complex bouquet with floral, fruity aromas with intense mineral notes. Full-bodied palate in its youth evolving towards subtlety and elegance after a few years.

The name of this climate probably comes from the distortion of the word "perreuse" (stone), the name given to the ancient Roman road whose route passed at the end of the current vineyard. The soil is structured for aging, with dense and compact clay soil resting on a limestone slab, which produces long and elegant wines.
