The terroir -

The vineyards of the estate are all located on the AOC Fleurie, precisely at a place called Les Labourons.

The essential characteristics of my vineyard are:

An altitude of about 400 m and a WSW exhibition:

This situation gives slow ripening, allowing a good preservation of acidity and favoring aromatic complexity.

Steeply sloping hillsides:

This exceeds in some plots the 30%.

They are favorable to the vine, ensuring good drainage,

a lot of sunshine and a less fertile soil than in the plain.

Soil composition:

It is here a pure expression of pink granite,

the soil is composed mainly of sand and pebbles

from the source rock. Like the soil, the wine retains a mineral, fresh and delicate side. Poor and filtering soil,

The Gamay is not very vigorous here and gives naturally

yields of about 35 hl/ha.

High-density planting:

between 8000 and 10000 feet / hectare
