The estate is situated on schists soil, with vines being about 60 years old on average. Our vineyard was awarded the sustainable agriculture certification Terra Vitis and has also been Organic certified since 2009. Picking is done by hand, allowing for the selection necessary to a perfect maturing of the wine. Average yields are of 28hl/ha.
