Location
Générac and Mazion municipalities.
Terroir
Deep and clayey soil, which cracks in summer to allow the roots to dive deep during the dry season. With rain, the cracks close up and limit root development.
This subsoil allows for moderate and constant water stress, resulting in good berry development and a beautiful aromatic richness.
