Terroir
The estate is located in the hillsides of the Left Bank of the Dordogne on a hill enclosed between two small valleys. The plot includes 12 plots in production on 14.5Ha of the 30Ha of the domain.
The rest of the land consists of meadows on 8 Ha, cultivable land for 6Ha and forest on 2Ha. The vines have been grown in Organic Agriculture since 2006, certified by ECOCERT and since 2019 worked in Biodynamics with a view to DEMETER certification .
The project is to replant on agricultural land herbs and aromatic plants which will constitute the main part of our treatments. Part of the work on the soil in animal traction should be implemented soon as well as the establishment of cuvées without sulfites.
Most soils have a clay texture. The geological formations are of limestone origin. The presence of the limestone bench in the basement of most low areas allows good natural drainage of water circulation. The presence of Calcium and Magnesium ensures good soil stability. The site’s layout is mainly north facing with slight slopes.
