The vines of the estate

The vines of the estate are entirely located in the Lavaux, a region celebrated for the beauty of its landscape and terraced vineyards, and renowned for its growths. In Lavaux, winegrowing is no easy affair with steep slopes and vineyards suspended in the skies. The estate's vineyards, 8 hectares in size, are made up of varying plots within the appellations of Saint-Saphorin, Epesses, Chardonne and Dézaley.

Today, 5,5 hectares occupy the slopes of Saint-Saphorin, characterised by its soil, a combination of clayish chalk resting on a base of chalky rock made up of pebbles joined by sandstone cement.

The same type of compacted pebbly molasse (commonly referred to as "pudding stone") is also found in our Dézaley vines, 0.5 hectares in size. Located in the extension of Dézaley, the vines of Epesses (0.5 hectares) are in fertile soil, into which the marly clay strata constantly releases large quantities of clay.

The Chardonne vines (1.5 hectares) for their part, flourish in chalky-gritty soil with pebbly elements.
