The local marble is a sedimentary rock, a limestone which is not susceptible to frost damage. It is fine-grained and capable of accepting a polish. There is a vein of this stone, called popularly, "the Comblanchien", extending from Nuits-Saint-Georges to Nevers, which has made the reputations of the quarries of the region. The stone, by the variety of its shades of colour, the pink of bindweed (Convolvulus) and beige and its grain will harmonize with any style. The town owes much to the economic development arising from Cistercian enterprise.
