Richness of the terroirs
Exposed to the East and the South-East, the soils are brown limestone and homogenous in the Premier Crus between 350 and 380 meters in altitude.
More marly nuances appear in certain areas (Les Hervelets for example).
The other lines are on the piedmont, with a limestone and marl complex.
