First plot made available on the MyViny app
position : 44°24’56″N 5°03’15″E
Slope : North-facing (the incline faces North)
+the vineyards don’t suffer from summer droughts
– Very humid in spring, thus susceptible to mildew, and as the harvest approaches, there’s a risk of grey rot (Botrytis).
++ Slower maturation compared to other Syrah grapes on the estate: a positive factor for crafting good wine, provided there isn’t excessive rot…
++ Soil type: Sandy clay, well-draining and rather poor soil
Planted area: 0.15 hectares (for reference, 1 hectare = 10,000 m2, 0.15 hectares = 1,500 m2)
Number of available squares: 40
++++ Planting date: 1989, 34 years old: mature vines.
++++ Grape variety: Syrah, typical aromas of this variety: spices, blackberry, violet.
Pruning type: Double cordon
Current average yield: 5 hectoliters, but the specifications of the Côtes-du-Rhône Villages appellation allow us to produce up to 8 hectoliters.
Plot better suited for crafting a light, high-quality, fresh, and fruity wine. However, it will all depend on the choices made in viticulture and oenology…
Can also be interesting for blending (mandatory for appellation compliance).
