Additional Info
An enclosed monopole of the domaine, this is located just behind the family’s main living quarters.
A high proportion of old vines are found here, with new plantings done by a combined replantation method: a blend of massal selection and clonal selection (at least 5 different types). Pruning is mostly Guyot, some Cordon Royat. Rootstock is 161-49.
