Our Vineyard in a few words

The oceanic climate with mild winters and lots of sun contributes to the steady maturity of the white vine of the area.

Evolution of the vineyard:
From 2 ha in 1960 to 24 ha in 2010
100% of our vines are located in GRANDE CHAMPAGNE in a 5-km radio around the property
30% on hills and 70% in the plains

Characteristics:
Regular renewal of the vineyard
Average age : 18 years old
Type of vine stock: Guyot double
Manual pruning
Planting density: 3000 vine stocks/ha

24 hectares of vineyard:
23 hectares of UGNI-BLANC
1 hectare of FOLLE BLANCHE
+ MERLOT / MONTILS / COLOMBARD

The Vine
The Ugni-Blanc, which reaches maturity quite late in the summer and is very resistant, offers two main qualities:
- very acidic to ensure a good natural preservation
- low alcohol level which ensures a better concentration of aromas during the distillation process.
