Vines and Terroir

Plots established on a very stony plateau. Formerly uncultivable, this poor soil surface allows the roots of vines to draw their nutriments very deep

  • Vine trained in Royat cordon pruning with four spurs.
  • The training height is adapted to the vegetative potential of each grape variety.
  • The winter pruning is made with two eyes.
  • Rigorous disbudding of unnecessary shoots is done in the spring.
  • In Organic viticulture conversion

We keep for our reds the oldest parcels, less productive, but which offer us grapes of very high quality.
