Terroir & Classification

Soils

LimestoneMarl

The vineyards sit on Jurassic limestone bedrock from the Bathonian and Bajocian periods, with a thin topsoil layer over limestone-rich marl subsoils. The well-draining limestone allows roots to penetrate deeply while the marl retains just enough moisture, creating ideal conditions for elegant Pinot Noir expression.
