North-facing vineyard of 1.4 hect that was planted in 1999. It’s exposition due North means it gets the most sun exposure of the three climats. It contains the Burgundian clones 114, 115 and 777, as well as MV6. Lodestone is magnetite, an iron mineral abundant in the vineyard soil hence the name. 

“Red liquorice with red and dark fruits and a little spicy...I also tasted the 2021’s from barrel at it’s evident this red liquorice is a common note from this terrior. So light in colour in comparison to the other two climats, despite Lodestone and Garamond containing MV6 plantings so it seems very much the soil and topography create this difference in colour. Rocky spot with lot’s of ‘red iron’ - More of this terror in any other vineyard” – Neil – Francaboutwine
