Terroir
Natural factors
- Vineyard in the Champagne berrichonne (Cher & Indre), on the slopes of the Cher and its tributaries the Arnon and the Théols
- Shallow soils over Kimmeridgian marls, on south-southeast-facing slopes that promote drainage of both water and cold air
- Semi-continental climate with oceanic influence; rainfall ~600 mm/year; sunny, warm, dry summers promoting early ripening (via Wikipedia · CC BY-SA 4.0)
