The Estate covers 14 hectares mainly planted with Pinot Noir, both in Côte de Beaune and Côte de Nuits. A plot of vines recently acquired in Moulin à Vent (in Beaujolais) completes the range of wines offered. François Parent, originally from Pommard, is Anne-Françoise's husband.

The brother and sister separate winemaking, and the other, the management, development and marketing of the wines.
