They are often asked: why did you choose Caux and this particular vineyard?
The answer is: the terroir. The soil contains large amounts of volcanic basalt, which is rare in the Languedoc. In Caux, they have 4.7 hectares of red vines (Carignan noir, Syrah, Cinsault and Grenache noir) on the slopes at an altitude of 120 meters, facing east.
The soil consists of Villefranchian gravel, silt and basalt. The large amount of basalt - which varies in size from gravel to large stones - brings freshness and a good acid balance to the wines. The vineyard is surrounded by trees and vegetation that ensures a balanced and healthy ecosystem.
