    Owner and history

    The "Vieilles Vignes" cuvée is made from a blend of several vineyards: Les Haies Martels, Les Batteraux, La Vallée du Roi and Le Clos de Chézelet. The vineyard covers 5.6 hectares of vines with an average age of 50 years. The soil is stony and granitic, resting on a subsoil of Touraine tuffeau limestone. Since 2008, the vineyard has been certified organic, and subsequently biodynamic.
