Terroir

• South/south-east facing slope of a sub-Vosgian hill, exposed from east to south-west, with a steep gradient.
• Characteristic geology: very dense marls over a limestone bedrock, ensuring well-balanced drainage.
• Protection afforded by the Vosges massif against humid, cool north-westerly winds, favouring a mesoclimate.
• Soils belonging to a single geo-pedological unit, linked to a mesoclimate described as favourable.

• Age-worthy white wines built on a dominant tartaric acidity, with great length on the palate; VT and SGN classified as 'sweet wines of very long keeping potential'.

• The dense marls bind terroir to style: full-bodied, rich wines with elegant salinity and great aromatic finesse.
