The grapes come from three hectares of vineyard within the estate, from vines with an average age of 30 to 35 years, which produce low yields of concentrated fruit. The vines face a south-easterly orientation, maximising exposure to the sun to assist the ripening of the berries. The soils are 50% clay flint, which imparts smoky mineral characters and 50% clay-limestone, resulting in elegant and fresh wines. The vineyard is currently in conversion to organic status. Indeed, the farming methods used over many years have followed these principles. Vineyard management techniques include ploughing the soil instead of using herbicides, growing cover crops between the rows of vines and sexual confusion of predators to maintain the vines' health and the environment's biodiversity.
