The estate cultivates its vines organically on 35 hectares of clay-limestone slopes. Facing south and southwest, these terroirs benefit from Atlantic and Mediterranean influences, giving the wines suppleness and aromatic richness. The predominant Chardonnay grape is vinified after direct pressing in stainless steel tanks at low temperatures, thus preserving the complexity and freshness of the aromas.
