All ofEric Morgat’s vineyards have been selected from among the finest terroirs. These terroirs can sometimes be difficult to cultivate, but as Eric Morgat likes to say, “they always hold great promise.” The six hectares of vineyards are planted exclusively with Chenin and cultivated using certified organic methods. Winemaking is done in the traditional, very natural way, with the wines aged for 22 months in 400-liter barrels.
