The Clos Derrière Vieille (behind the old village hospices) is 3.42 hectares of vines, planted in the early 1990s via selection massale, naturally fenced by woods. The vineyard is on a slope from 300 to 350 meters of altitude with a northwest exposure. Very slow ripening of the grapes: shadowed in the morning, bathed by the sun until sunset.
Soils
Calcareous marl from the Cretaceous period
Harvest & Vinification
