Vineyard notes: "The appellation spreads widely to the east, thanks to the bedrock of the Combe Lavaux, which contributes essential minerals to the soil and is the most important combe (valley) of the area. The significant amount of gravel in the soil allows for an excellent draining capacity, even at the bottom of the slopes. Domaine Rousseau owns 10 vineyards in Gevrey-Chambertin, 8 of which are used in its Village appellation."
