The average age of our vineyards is 35 years old, some of our oldest vines were planted ungrafted because this area was not affected by phylloxera.The soils are loose, stony or sandy depending on the areas as with clay subsoil where the plant can obtain water in times of drought. The varieties and plots are vinified separately to respect the characteristics of the different vineyards.Our wines are structured and elegant, balanced, with refined tannins and deep minerality.
Our wines show the characteristics of a region with an extreme continental climate, minimum rainfall, abundant hours of sunshine and strong temperature contrasts between night and day.
