The expression of Terroir

The commune of Saint Vérand has a granite terroir similar to that of the Beaujolais crus, unlike the southern Beaujolais region which is predominantly clay-limestone. This soil is exceptional and very rare on our planet. It is made up of plagiogranites similar to the blue stones found on the Côte de Py in Morgon and also found in Norway. This terroir is very evenly distributed throughout the village. It gives the Gamay and Viognier grapes a fine structure and also enables them to age well over time.

The Pinot Noirs are planted at Légny lieu-dit Collonges on clay-limestone soil, a favourite soil for Pinot Noir as in Burgundy.
So the terroirs are adapted to the grape varieties and enable us to obtain racy, pure wines with fruit, finesse and elegance.
