The estate, managed by Philippe Ballot, who followed his father Raymond, and is working with his son Charles, boasts 12 hectares (30 acres) in all. A superb production in its own right, yielding one of the finest and most delectable illustrations that Côte de Beaune could ever offer: the supple, fruity character of great white wines such as Meursault and Chassagne-Montrachet, and the richness and delicacy of the legendary Pommard, Beaune, and Volnay.

Today, along with the wine regions of Volnay, Pommard, Beaune, Chassagne-Montrachet, and, of course, Meursault, the family “heritage” has earned prestige, both in the richness of its appellation selections and in the diversity of the prime vintage “Premier Crus” it represents. Les Pézerolles is a Pommard Premier Cru appellation in the Côte de Beaune. Like all Pommard vineyards, it only produces red wines from the Pinot Noir grape variety. The 5.91-hectare (14.60 acres) plot sits near the northeast end of the village. It is only separated from the border with Beaune by the thin strip of Les Saussilles.

The soils here are stony white marl. They are similar in composition to those of Epenots but much deeper. Wines from Pézerolles are known for their finesse, in contrast to the more expressive wines from Epenots.
