The total of 54 acres is made up of 18 acres
of Vineyards, the rest is meadows and woodland.
The estate respects the environment by promoting
the use for neutral fertiliser and keeping the
use of weed killers to a minimum.
The "Gamay Noir" variety
(Clear-juice Black Gamay) are planted on a granitic
soil with sandy texture, which is perfect for
drainage.
In 2000, Laurent decided to plant on the East facing hills, vines of Chardonnay from Burgundy. Today, the estate has 2.8ha of white grapes producing 26,000 bottles of Bourgogne Chardonnay.
The vines are situated between 300 to 550 m high,
on the steep hills facing South East, and at the
end of the summer they benefit from the hot days
and cool nights, which are perfect for maturation.
The red vines are on average 45 years old.
The main training system is the traditional "Gobelet"
(bush). The estate respects the environment by
keeping the use of natural fertilizers, weed killers
etc to a minimum. Pruning and harvesting are done
manually.
