Our vines are planted on two terroirs:
The clay-limestone plateau :
This is the extension of the Saint Emilion plateau, with its famous starfish limestone, but at a higher altitude. The plateau culminates at 117 m (second highest point in Gironde). Our vines are situated between 100 and 106 m in altitude.
Calcisols and medium thick calcosols on hard limestone (upper Oligocene).
The slopes :
Our vines are situated between 58 and 90 m altitude, on the Fronsac molasses and the limestone scree of the plateau.
Clayey-silty Calcosols on clayey-silty molasses and sandy-clayey on sandy tuffs
Our two terroirs are among the latest in Saint Émilionnais, which allows us to preserve a lovely freshness in the wines.
