villages stretch out tiny parallel to its course. There are several parcels that make up the picture, scattered for about three-quarters of the total along slopes that do not exceed 100 meters in altitude but offer very significant gradients, characterized by very dry clay-siliceous soils rich in flint, like Le Clos, or more clay-limestone, like Le Chêne Vert and Les Cornuelles. The last part of the plots is instead located directly on the plain, composed of ancient alluvial debris and largely scattered with graves, the gravelly and draining pebbles that characterize, for example, the homonymous Bordeaux sector. The Cabernet Franc is the variety that completely dominates the entire property, with an average age of about 40 years and the presence of vines that exceed 80, cultivated according to the traditional method of inter-row working and in respect of biodiversity, following the standards of Haute Valeur Environnementale certification and the conversion to organic for about ten hectares.villages stretch out tiny parallel to its course.

The yields can be extremely limited, as low as 25 hectoliters per hectare and the vinifications pursue slow fermentations, lasting up to 3 or 4 weeks, carried out at controlled temperatures. For aging, Bruno Sourdais relies on various containers: concrete tanks, fiberglass, and a large number of oak barrels, from foudres to demi-muids, up to barriques, with periods lasting up to 18 months.
