| Winery | The grapes are grown in the estate vineyard in the heart of the Fitou appellation, which is in the South of France, overlooking the Mediterranean Sea. The climate is highly influenced by the sea breezes, which mitigate the hot, dry and sunny weather and help to keep the canopies ventilated and the vines healthy. The soils are very poor, with a high proportion of shale and clay-limestone stone. This poor soil makes the vines struggle and encourages them to send their roots deep in search of nutrients, which imparts complexity to the wine. Since 1979, the vineyard has been cultivated according to the Method Cousini; without chemicals, only organic and mineral products are employed to express the true nature of the soil. It requires considerable soil work, including a significant amount of ploughing every year; this also helps form deep roots, making the vines less susceptible to temperature and water stress fluctuations. |
