VINEYARD
Rows of trellis-trained vines stretch from east to west at our vineyards’ highest reaches, around 400 metres above sea level. Their orientation is an essential part of protecting the grapes from excessive exposure to sunlight. When the sun is at its highest point during the hottest months of summer, it reaches the leaves and not the clusters, which remain shaded and fresh.
SOIL
Steep slopes of poor, permeable soils with a sandy loam texture that are gravelly and infertile.
THE WINEMAKING PROCESS
Mechanical night harvest. Gravity powers the winemaking process after which ageing lasts for twelve months in new French oak barrels.
