- Profile : MINERAL AND DELICATE
- Our 18 hectares vineyard is situated on the southern slopes of the Valley of the Marne, between Charly-sur-Marne and Chateau Thierry. The soil is clay and limestone on the upper and middle slopes becoming silty and light and the bottom of the hillside. The oldest vines are almost 50 years old.

- After a rainy, cool spring which disrupted the development and the ideal growth of the vines and the grapes, the sun finally settled on the slopes around July 15 and remained right through to the harvest.
