Situated at the foot of the Dentelles de Montmirail, the vineyards spread across Plan de Dieu, terraces of red clay recovered by pebble stones which retain the sun’s heat at night and keep coolness during day. Then the gentle slopes of Sablet where then the grapes are growing on a sandy soil along with gravel bringing finesse and mineral qualities to the wine.
