Additional Info
For Virgile, this terroir, especially the soils, are worthy of Grand Cru status. "You just can't make bad wine here."
The name of this parcel refers to the falcons that circle around the vineyard. Work in all of Virgile's vines and the cellar has been carried out in function of the lunar cycle since 2010.
