We work in this beautiful Vertus terroir, listed as Premier Cru. A complex terroir, due to its geological features. Numerous streams guarantee a good hygrometry. The soils, mostly calcareous, contain very little clay, with areas of pure chalk; there are three distinct types of soils: brown topsoil over chalk, redzine over chalk and brown topsoil over chalky gravel.

 

The exposition to the sun of the slopes is also an essential factor for the diversity of the Terroir ; in Vertus, there are three : East, South and South-East.

 

We also take a lot of care with the separate vinification of the grapes grown in about 30 different plots or«Lieux-dits» located in Vertus Premier Cru.

 

This mosaic of expressions supplies for the blending of each of our cuvées, a specific personality an identity. Our vine-grower friends, seduced by our methods, have not hesitated to entrust us with their harvests. Thanks to a strict selection of the grapes, we have a wider range in the wealth of expressions from our village, Vertus Premier Cru. In the future, we may extend this method to other Premiers Crus or Grands Crus in the region.
