The Estate has a range of very varied soils: marl with
shell-bearing chalk and more or less sand, gravel hillside, Villafranca
terraces, gravel beach-type soils.
There, in their most appropriate vineyards, on 5-wire trellises
(6ft) while limiting the yield, we produce a wide range of grape
varieties: Chardonnay, Sauvignon, Grenache, Dry Muscat, Viognier,
Merlot, Cabernet-Sauvignon, Syrah, Grenache, Cinsault and old
Carignan.
Our sumptuous traditional method of maturing the wine in oak
barrels, and our harmonious blended white and red wines, part
of our EXCELLENCE collection, are much appreciated.
Our vineyards enjoy a Mediterranean climate which ensures that
the grapes are fully ripe, while our quick-draining soils, given
that there is little rainfall in summer, limit production naturally.
We also thin the grapes to limit yield.
These factors all hemp maintain the distinctive, highly reliable
quality of all our well-balanced, smooth wines, with their intense
aromas and well-defined structure.
