A unique parcel of 8.5 hectares of vines situated at the beginning of the “Plateau des Garrigues”, with, on the slopes on all sides, 11 hectares of 100 year old oak woods which protect the vines and separate them from the other vines of the same classification.  There is a micro climate around this parcel of vines and a particularly light rainfall. The vines were planted in 1989 by Christine and Eric Saurel. 

 

The soil is composed of ‘Garrigues’ or plateau soil, and the sub soil is of clayey blue marl and Helvetian grit containing the most complex clay: Montmorillonite.   It is one of the most beautiful parcels of land in Vacqueyras.
 

Note:  The grapes convey/express 3 different types of land here.
 

The vine varieties are Grenache (50%)  and Syrah (50%) .
