OUR TERROIRS
If I were asked what the most precious thing on earth is, I would say the vine (Cato the Elder)

The 24 hectares of the estate are shared between a mosaic of over 150 different plots of vines
that are part of the "Grand Site de France" of Solutré – Pouilly – Vergisson. The vines,
with an average age of 40 years old, are exclusively of the Chardonnay grape variety.
Most of these plots face the rising sun on gentle slopes that extend from the eastern faces
of Solutré and Vergisson.

Earth does not belong to man, man belongs to the Earth (Sitting Bull)

The soil is marly chalk from the middle and upper Jurassic period. With this in alteration is clayey
silt that can be carried along the slopes by rainwater. When this happens the soil is quite shallow
and mainly chalky at the top of the slope and deeper and more clayey at the bottom.
