TERROIR

Strewed with pebbles rolled and shaped by the Rhône river, the vineyard of our Chateauneuf du Pape lays on a unique alluvial ground. This soil is made of sedimental marl blended with sandy and clay. It is a fantastic pantry for the vine which can plunge its roots very deep to draw water and freshness in any season. The yearly sunshine period is around 2800 hours which is very much above any other great vineyard in France. This unique "terroir" enable our grapes to achieve an optimal maturity.

For a second selection which is made by our own personnal upon putting the grapes in the fermenting vats. The harvest is received by gravity, no de-stemming.
