Our second episode takes us out onto the RN74 on a hunt for both rocks and answers. We're joined by our local geologist-hero, Françoise Vannier as we hike up the Hill of Corton, and down into the Valley of Savigny-les-Beaune and Pernand-Vergelesses. Our goal is to discover the truth behind the legends that intersect the worlds of soils, wines, and kings, but end up discovering much more.

Guests featured in this episode include: Michael Sager (Sager and Wilde), Paul Wasserman (Becky Wasserman & Co.), Rajat Parr (Phelan Farm), François de Nicolay (Domaine Chandon de Briailles), Chisa Bize (Domaine Simon Bize), David Croix (Domaine des Croix), Aubert de Villaine (Domaine de la Romanée Conti), and a feature of our favorite Savigny restaurant Le Soleil.
