The color of these sands tends to yellow-ochre and their main characteristic is to give very vertical and elegant wines. The original planting dates back to 1986 and a part was restructured in 2015. The total surface area is 2 ha and the exposures vary between east, south and west at an altitude of about 300 m a.s.l.
