The domaine comprises some 20 hectares: 19ha of white wine, 1ha of red wine.

Tasting
To the eye, it's a brilliant straw-yellow color. On the nose, citrus scents, and on the palate, woody aromas nuanced with white flowers and ripe fruit. A rich, mineral wine.
Food pairings
This great white wine goes well with cooked dishes, especially fish, white meats and certain cheeses.
