The history of this locality dates back several centuries. In the XII century, the priory of Saint-Etienne of Beaune owned vineyards in the lane "Rue au Port". In fact, this name evokes the life in the village during the Middle Ages : the word "port" meaning "passage", "La Rue au Port" indicated the pathway linking the village to the road of Beaune and Chalon sur Saône, which the travellers had to follow after having paid their toll. The powerful brotherhood of the Holly-Sacrament of Pommard, whose existence is recorded by titles from the XVIII century, enjoyed feudal haulage duties for the loading and passage of the vehicles carrying goods and mainly wine. This path, particularly well maintained by the brotherhood, allowed the products from Pommard and other villages located upstream, to join the main road. A granting was located at the entrance of the village. Limestone and stony soil with a vine age of 38 years.
