The grapes for the Azure cuvée come predominantly from the best parcels surrounding the village of Cotignac. The vines are planted at 200 to 300 metres elevation, where the soils comprise limestone and gravel. These soils and the cooling breezes at this elevation impart the fruit with aromatic expression and freshness. A further blending element comes from the ‘Golden Triangle’ around the village of Pierrefeu, where the continental and maritime climates converge, imparting the fruit with aromatic complexity and length. The soils in this area are rich in clay, providing good water retention properties to nourish the vines during the warm Mediterranean summers. The vines are trained according to the Cordon de Royat method, and the vineyards are sustainably cultivated to promote soil and vine health and biodiversity.
