Origin
The “Sous la Roche” terroir is, according to Michel Bettane, “One of the best vines for planting Chardonnay”. Like that of the "Comme-above", it offers steep slopes with optimal exposure to the south-southeast. It adjoins the 1st growths La Maladière and Beaurepaire. The “Comme-above”, further east, overlooks, as its name suggests, the Premier Cru “La Comme”.
