A unique land.
Rising between 60 and 100 meters above sea level, the exclusively hillside vineyard is exposed North and East, forming a circus.
A rare orientation, favoring slow maturation, a source of complexity and finesse.
The soil is clay-limestone, with variations depending on the altitude: the rock is flush in the upper part, ideal for the production of dry whites. On lighter soils, the bottom of the slope brings elegance to sweet wines.
The omnipresence of clay on the hillside contributes to maintaining the humidity associated with the autumn mists, which are essential for the development of botrytis cinerea.
The slope provides natural drainage, essential for quality production.
The wines: the estate multiplies the cuvées in white and sweet wines.
On the dry front, Andréa's Sémillon and Muscadelle blend ranks among the chic whites of the area, despite a dominant woodiness that lets in gourmet hazelnut notes.
