ヴィーニュ・モワンジョン
サントーバン村に位置するヴィーニュ・モワンジョンは、コート・ド・ボーヌ地区のプルミエ・クリュに格付けされている。このクリュは、村の主要な生産者の一つであるドメーヌ・ビヤールが主要な所有者として名を連ねている。栽培面積は7.12ヘクタールに及び、このアペラシオンの中でも一定の広さを有する区画である。ワインの品質を左右する土壌や標高といったテロワールの詳細は、個別のヴィンテージや造り手の解釈によって異なる側面を見せるが、基本的にはサントーバンらしい精緻な構造を備えたワインを生み出す土壌条件を有している。歴史的な背景や所有関係の変遷を経て、現在はドメーヌ・ビヤールを中心に、この一級畑の個性が表現され続けている。
Vignes Moingeon is a premier cru *climat* in Saint-Aubin, tucked into the hills behind Puligny-Montrachet and Chassagne-Montrachet on the Côte de Beaune. Saint-Aubin's position slightly off the main Côte strip — historically less prominent than its famous neighbors — makes its premier crus a natural source for Chardonnay of real quality at prices that remain more accessible.
Chardonnay, white only. Premier cru regulations apply: minimum density of 9,000 vines per hectare, yield ceiling around 45–48 hl/ha.
