new concept based on the creation of unique and

Next door, visit Morgeot Abbey where Amélie de Mac
Mahon, Duchess of Magenta will receive you by

in Burgundy 25 years ago for the love of the place ...
and even went back to school to "learn wine". "I'm here
and I'm staying" is her motto and, as for wine, her
credo involves a well-reasoned approach: traditional
ploughing and manual harvesting.
