The village is located in the central part of the department, on the plateau of the upper Saônebeckens, at the western foot of the heights, which rise between the river valleys of the Saône and Ognon.

The area of 14.64 km ² municipal area includes a portion in the region of the upper Saônebeckens. The main part of the area is occupied by a platform, which is an average 250 m. It is drained by the stream Ruisseau de Vy- le- Ferroux whose valley is slightly incised into the plateau, northwest to the Saône. The plateau is composed of Tertiary sediments. Agricultural land use predominates, but there are larger areas of forest ( Bois Lécerty in the west and Grand Bois de Rosey in the southwest ).

In the southeast, passes through a ground level to the wooded ridge of the Côte d' Andelarre that belongs to the hilly area between the Saône and Ognon. It consists of carbonate sediments of the middle Jurassic period. The highest elevations of Rosey form with 371 m the crests of the Bois du Mont and the Bois du Rossignol. In addition to the trickle of the Ruisseau de Vy- le- Ferroux there are no surface watercourses, because the rainwater seeps into the karst underground.
