Only recently integrated into Chinon’s A.O.C area, our vineyard in Lerné is situated on a sloping hillside facing due South. Thanks to their intense solar exposure, these vines produce a powerful, sun-drenched wine.
This vine’s two and a half acres are laid on two different types of soil.
The top of the hillside is composed of a mixture of heavy yellowy-orange clays and rough sand with a surface layer of limestone and flint. At the bottom of the slope, the soil is an alluvial combination of sands and silts, with less clay and fewer stony aggregates.
