Terroir
The clay-limestone soil is among the types of soil perfectly suited to reveal the potential of a red wine. It allows for the storage of microelements, thereby bringing out the roundness and finesse of the wine. Its location facing the estuary provides daily richness to the vine. The vineyard benefits from an ideal microclimate that results in a concentration of sugar and aromas within the berries.
