The vineyard
Surface area: 12 ha
Terroir : This is an exceptional terroir, one of the Médoc’s greatest growths. It is composed of Garonne gravel left behind by the ancient
Garonne River during the Quaternary Günz glaciation. These gravels are composed of pebbles, cobbles and gravels originating from the
Massif Central and the Pyrenees. These warm, very poor, filtering soils are perfectly suited to vine-growing and grape ripeness. This terroir would be nothing without the climatic influence of the nearby river, which moderates temperatures.
Cultivation practices: the vines are grown with the greatest respect for the environment. No herbicides or insecticides are used, making the vineyard an ecosystem rich in biodiversity.
