These mineral-rich soils encourage deep root development, allowing the grape varieties to fully express themselves. The temperate oceanic climate, with its maritime influences, provides ideal conditions for grape ripening. The vines, some several decades old, are cultivated with meticulous care, guaranteeing optimal quality in the harvested grapes.
