The wine is made from vines planted in the Ratanaud, the summit between the valleys of the Aygues and the Ouvèze. This is the exceptional terroir composed of red-brown marn (compacted sand & alluvial clay, with a high iron content) covered with river stones, the subsoil is grey clay, algees from origin.
This area is probably the only area in the South of France where we can find such soil on root level, and giving exceptional wines. Due to the altitude (+360 metres), the vines enjoy freshness during the night and many sunshine hours during the day, increasing herewith the complexity of the wine, already high because of the soil.

The gobelet pruned vines are all hand-harvested, only the best grapes are picked at perfect maturity, of course.
