Winery | The term "Chaillees" comes from a regional dialect meaning 'rocky' and refers to the dry stone walls that form the terraces of this plot. In the past, those who came across the plot would often be heard to say "On est l'Enfer," which translates as 'we are in Hell', due to the intense heat endured on these south-facing plots. The vineyard is situated in the heart of Condrieu and comprises two hectares of south-facing biotite granite terraces. The vines were planted in 1957 on Richter 110 rootstocks and pruned to the simple Guyot style. Planted at a density of 8,000 to 10,000 vines per hectare, they yield just 30 hectolitres per hectare. Due to the steep hillsides, machines are impossible; therefore, the vineyard is maintained manually and sustainably without using weed killers or insecticides. |
