Fun Facts: The name of this parcel is called Les Coulées. An article in the Revue de Vin de France accidentally called it La Coulée; the proprietor, who happens to be somewhat well known in the area, did not appreciate this and asked Evelyne to change it. Since the parcel next to it was called Jalousie (Jealousy), it seemed like the perfect name change.
