Description
The total surface area of the property is 188 hectares in one piece.
The vineyard is concentrated on 69 hectares, including 6 hectares of white grapes, planted on the best exposed plots of the estate in order to catch the sun's rays from the first to the last hour of the day. The grapes are thus picked at full maturity, even in difficult years, which allows them to release all their aroma and richness.
Moreover, these plots are only located on hillsides so that rainwater can drain off naturally without altering the quality of the grapes through exaggerated swelling due to water stagnation.
The average age of the vineyard is now 25 years, with the oldest vines reaching 50 years.
