SOIL TYPE
Shallow clay‐limestone, difficult to work because of the numerous boulders and subsoil with asters most favorable to the vine, It's a typical example of the geological structure that Professor Henri Enjalbert loved. The twin of the terroir is found to the west in the extension of the hillside at the same altitude in the classified Grands Crus of Saint‐Emilion.
