Brabuzon or also known as Ampilly (often spelled Amphilly) is a premium French limestone quarried in the northern Burgundy region, specifically near Ampilly-le-Sec in Côte-d’Or. It is highly regarded for its exceptional durability and its characteristic warm, “honeyed” aesthetic. Typically ranges from soft beige to warm honey-yellow, often with subtle grey or taupe undertones. It is a medium-grained, oolitic limestone. Depending on the “bench” (layer) from which it is quarried, it can be: Brabuzon Medium: More homogenous and lighter in color with “speckled” markings, or Brabuzon Tigré (Tiger): Features darker, parallel veins or “stripes” that add visual movement. The stone often contains delicate fossilized shells and unique mineral textures that deepen its historic character.
