Other white Burgundy wines produced by the domaine include Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru, Batard-Monrachet Grand Cru and Saint Romain. The estate's only red wine is a Santenay.

Alvina Pernot creates wines that stand out from those of her family. She pays particular attention to tension and freshness. The grapes are hand-picked and collected in small wooden crates. The fruit is pressed vertically. Both methods reduce oxidation and produce purer juice .
