Etymology
– Les Chaillots : In Ladoix-Serrigny, the chailles (stony terrain) represent the majority of this lieu-dit located on the alluvial cone of the Combe des Buis valley.
– Les Chagnots : Chagnot, a Burgundian diminutive of Châgne from the Old French noun Chasne “oak”, is found in two lieu-dits near Ladoix-Serrigny: Les Chagnots and Clos des Chagnots, on the border of the D974 Dijon-Beaune road which crosses the village. Indeed, these were places where oak trees abounded.
– Les Combottes : In Ladoix-Serrigny, this large plot is located in the continuation of the Combe des Buis valley which explains its hilly landscape. Its name is a diminutive of Combe (comb or valley)

The vineyard plot(s)
Ancient mass selection of Pinot Blanc (one quarter of the surface) and Chardonnay (three quarters), grafted onto 161-49 rootstocks. Fairly old vines exceeding 40 years old.

The soil and the subsoil
Complex formation of slopes of clayey calcareous soils resulting from the modification of the substrate with various screes and colluvial silts on "chailles" (small hard stones). These stones come from the alluvial fan of Buisson and guarantee these relatively fertile soils good drainage and therefore early ripening of the grapes.
