The old vines of Vaillons are situated on south-facing slopes, enjoying excellent sun exposure. The soil, composed of limestone and clay, allows the roots to penetrate deeply, drawing up the minerals necessary for crafting wines of great complexity. The continental climate, with cold winters and hot summers, gives the grapes optimal ripeness while preserving their freshness. The sustainable viticulture practices implemented by the estate contribute to the health of the vines and the quality of the grapes.
