This vineyard occupies slopes on the right bank of the River Cher, well exposed to the southwest and southeast. Soils vary between clay-limestone and shallow flinty clay, with good drainage. Vineyard treatments are kept to a minimum, in line with the Terra Vitis code of practice. The grapes were destemmed and then fermented in temperature-controlled tanks. The wine is unoaked.
The nose is powerful with aromas of blackcurrant and blueberries and subtle spice notes as the wine opens up.

The wine strikes a balance between fruit tannins and palate weight, showcasing terroir with its intense fruit character and balanced structure, and leaving a lasting, fruit-driven impression.
