    Vineyard

    Located in the Faugères appellation, the vineyard sits on typical clay-limestone and schist soils, which allow the grapes to achieve great aromatic concentration and elegant structure. The Mediterranean climate provides ample sunshine while maintaining freshness in the wines.

    Vintage

    The 2020 vintage, characterized by a good balance between fruit ripeness and acidity, has produced a harmonious wine with good aging potential.

    Vinification & Aging
