Excellent terroir and organic practices

The Haut Garrigue vineyards follow the steep hillsides of the Dordogne Valley providing autumn-sun slopes. The soil is chalk over clay (similar to nearby St Émilion), forcing the vine roots to search deep into the ground and rock to find nutrients. The vineyards are mostly east- and south-facing, good for maturation of grapes, and are elevated above the valley. The average age of the vines is 30 years and some are more than 50 years old resulting in complex wines. All these factors are keys to fine wine expressive of its place. Haut Garrigue has 10 hectares of vines – just the right amount for our family to provide personal care to each parcel.
