Vineyard

The soil of the 350-meter-high plots is of the Sidérolithique soil type. This acidic, iron-rich, and reddish soil originated in the Early Tertiary from deposits resulting from the erosion of the Massif Central. The top layer, rich in large round pebbles, quartz, and quartzite, rests on a hard layer of limestone from the Secondary period. The average age of the vines is 40 years.

Vinification

The bunches are hand-picked and destemmed upon arrival at the winery. Vinification takes place naturally. The combined fermentation and maceration take 30 days and occur in concrete tanks. Foudres are used for the 18-month maturation.
