They control approximately 110 hectares of vines between estate-owned and outsourced vineyards, at an altitude of between 830 and 950 metres above sea level, in chalky-clay, sandy and stony soils.
Checked and closely monitored throughout the growing cycle so that only the best clusters are left on the vine. Vines tended with painstaking care from a commitment to rational viticulture and a respect for the environment.
