Presentation
The vines are cultivated on hillsides at an altitude between 350 and 450 meters on clay, limestone and sandy soils. With a good south-east exposure our vines enjoy an exceptional amount of sunshine with more than 2800 hours of sun per year. It is the interaction between this terroir and this outstanding climate that enables us to create fine and aromatic wines.
The vineyard was bought in 2013 by the BURLET family and has been since conducted according to the principles of sustainable farming: mechanical weeding, limited treatments, voluntary limitation of yields, short pruning, de-budding and green harvesting if necessary. The Domain was certified HEV (Hight Environmental Value) 3rd level in April 2019.
