Between garrigue and limestone terrain
The vineyards occupy garrigue north of Montpellier, at the foot of the first Cévennes foothills. Plots are interspersed with copses and limestone features. Soils include limestone, marl, dolomite and scree.
Contrasting climatic influences
Proximity to the Mediterranean and Cévennes combines different climatic influences. Day–night temperature differences characterise this territory.
