About the Domain
The vineyard extends from Ampuis to Peyssonneau, following the course of the Rhône. The plots are planted from 140 to 390 meters above sea level on steep slopes, with slopes that can reach 50%. The soil, very friable, is supported by stone walls called "chaillets", necessarily built with local stone. The cultivation is very parceled, covering four municipalities, and is carried out mainly by hand, given the topography of the place. Cultivation that is respectful of nature and the environment is practiced on the domain.
