The southwest-facing slope forms a 0.5-hectare parcel. In 2018, frost losses were avoided and the growing season progressed from normal to hot and dry. Light summer rain revived vines under hydric stress, leading to good fruit balance and ultimately an abundant crop. Harvest began on August 30 and lasted seven days, with fruit appearing exceptionally clean and yields averaging 75 hl\/ha.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eAbout the Winery\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDomaine François Raveneau holds 10 hectares across three Grand Cru and six Premier Cru sites, including parcels in Blanchot, Les Clos and Valmur, as well as Montée de Tonnerre, Les Vaillons, Butteaux, Chapelot, Montmains and Forêt.
