The vineyards are situated in a natural amphitheater around
the Château and the vines themselves are planted in sandy soils
resulting from the disintegration of the granite bedrock.

These are poor, thin, acidic soils where we can still see projections of
the underlying rock.

We cultivate our vines in ways that safeguard the environment.

Respect of the soil is a priority, which is why we practice grassing-over between the vines in many plots.
Other vineyard methods are used in order to prevent soil compaction and to look after the microbiology.

The vines are trained either in the traditional low “Goblet” style

or «Cordon de Royat» style allowing better aeration of the crop.

Averageage of the vines:  45 years.
