Winery | The grapes are grown in the estate vineyard in the heart of the Fitou appellation, which is in the South of France, overlooking the Mediterranean Sea. The climate is highly influenced by the sea breezes, which mitigate the hot, dry, and sunny weather and help to keep the canopies ventilated and the vines healthy. The soils are very poor soil with a high proportion of shale and clay-limestone stone. This poor soil makes the vines struggle and encourages them to send their roots deep in search of nutrients, which imparts complexity to the wine. Since 1979, the vineyard has been cultivated according to the Method Cousini, without chemicals, and only organic and mineral products are employed to express the true nature of the soil. It requires considerable soil work including a significant amount of ploughing every year, this also helps to form deep roots, which makes the vines less susceptible to fluctuations in temperature and water stress. |
