The terroir
The magnificent vineyard terraces found on the property today have required intensive work and significant investment.
Clearing, uprooting trees, reconstructing collapsed walls, deep harrowing to eliminate roots and bring large stones to the surface, removing them, plowing, and then several passes with a chisel plow, amending with organic manure… And a particularity of the Estate: the removal of large granite blocks, generally spherical in shape (sometimes weighing several tons). These blocks of Hercynian origin (300 to 350 million years old) are the remains of the decomposition of the granitic massifs.
The Winemaking Tool
Just before the 2025 harvest, the estate completed the construction of its own winery. Located in the heart of the property and in the building which was formerly the Restaurant de Manrella. The project required a major investment and a complete renovation: full roof repairs, structural reinforcement and insulation of the walls and the entire building, in order to create a winemaking tool that is both efficient and sustainable.
Inside, the cellar is equipped with about fifteen stainless steel tanks made entirely of 316 stainless recognised for its superior quality, and all temperature controlled to guarantee optimal control of fermentations.
A barrel cellar completes the ensemble with new 10 and 20 hectolitre French oak casks and new 400 litre French oak barrels from several cooperages allowing for a diversification of aromas imparted by the wood while respecting the identity of the wine.
Finally, a carefully designed grape reception area has provided particularly high-quality conditions for sorting and handling the grapes with utmost respect for the fruit and the work done in the vineyard.
