Natural factors
- A 36-hectare mountain vineyard on clay-limestone slopes, at elevations between 500 and 650 metres (via Wikipedia · CC BY-SA 4.0)
- A temperate climate with strongly attenuated Mediterranean influences, shaped by altitude and the proximity of the Vercors massif
Product characteristics
- Dry, crisp whites with aromas of white blossom and citrus; fruity reds with notes of garrigue, firm tannins, and minerality
- Rosés with a salmon-pink colour, red-fruit aromas, and a fresh palate; best served between 8 and 10 °C
Terroir / wine link
- The mountain mesoclimate of the slopes, combined with well-drained marly or limestone soils, encourages fruity aromas, freshness in the rosés and whites, and roundness in the reds
