The terroir of Châteauneuf-du-Pape is unique. In particular the large sun-warmed stones diffuse a gentle, providential heat that helps the grapes to mature and their juice to concentrate.
The Domaine is home to the “Symphony of 13 varieties” typical of this AOC, which provide aromatic complexity, strength and balance.

For the red wines, four varieties dominate: Grenache, Syrah, Mourvèdre and Cinsault, supplemented by Counoise, Muscardin, Terret and Vaccarèse.
The whites are made from white-grape vines: Clairette, Roussane, Bourboulenc, Grenache Blanc, Picardan and Picpoul.
The vines are 45 years old on average, and their yield in Châteauneuf is 25-35 hl/ha.

The Rasteau vines are planted in clay-chalk soil with a blue-clay subsoil, on slopes and full south-facing terraces. Yields are low: 30-42 hl/ha
