The vineyards plots are spread over the communes of La Palme and Leucate on clay soils and limestone. Some are bordering a small lake, while others are close to a sea side cliff. The surface area is around 15 hectares. The yields are quite low, varying between 8 and 30hl per ha. The plots are surrounded by a varied vegetation: tamarind, pines, reeds, olives and almond trees, and low scrub vegetation. We work 9 grape varieties: 5 White (Macabeu, Grenache gris, Carignan Blanc, Muscat a petits grains, Muscat d'Alexandrie) and 5 Red (Carignan, Grenache, Mourvedre, Syrah and Cinsault).
