Terroir

All the property is established on “lower molasses of the Resident of Agen” i.e. on carbonated clays and feldspathic micaceous sandstones. One of the characteristics of the soil is to profit from a very important silica outcrop which gives a certain acidity on the ground. The general exposure is full south and all the pieces are in more or less accentuated slopes. Encépagement: Important replantings which took place since 1991 made it possible to create homogeneous farming sets with qualitative vines adapted to the conditions of the soil (grounds very limestones and acids). Today, the white vines represent 14 hectares including 15% in Sauvignon, 50% in Sémillon and 35% in Muscadelle. The whole property is planted in narrow vines with 5000 feet/hectare.
