In the vines
Plot planted in 2008 with very fine plants in 161-49 on a limestone hillside facing South-East. The soil is superficial, on the rock in certain areas.
The youth of the plot, its terroir as well as its exposure make it the earliest develop plot of the estate.
Viticulture

Harvest
Manual harvest in 20 kg boxes with a first sorting at the vineyard.
