Terroir : Quaternary aeolian sand with flint, sometimes at the surface, sometimes down to 1.5 meters deep. Le Pérou,the only parcel surrounded by woods, the plot benefits from an unique micro-climate (25 mm less rainfall compared to the plots in the neighboring valley). The parcel of le Pérou is classified Natura 2000; one can find red cicada and azure du serpolet there, and also wild oregano.
Examples of pre-harvest work : Guyot Poussard pruning, light hoeing around the vines, de- budding and light thinning of the vines.
Harvest : Manual harvesting at night to start the fermentation at low temperature. Manual sorting of the grapes in the cellar, de-stemmed but not crushed, and put directly in the tank. Light soaking, or infusion, of the grapes.
