Vineyards grow on one of the most qualititative scrubland terroirs in the Vacqueyras appellation.
The ancient composition of the soils, 120,000 to 300,000 BC, includes rounded pebbles and various sizes of white stone. Deep and very well-drained, the soil considerably affects the vigor of the vines which produce very small yields.
The parcels benefit from optimum exposure. Heat is intense in summer and leads to sun-gorged grapes at harvest time.
The vines are the oldest on the estate, the Grenache and Mourvrèdre vines have more 50 years old.

The vineyard nestles into the base of the Dentelles de Montmirail on the northern edge of the famed Gigondas zone.
South-southwest exposure provides for warm afternoon sunshine and great luminosity highly conducive to slow, steady maturation of the grapes.
The influence from the nearby mountains adds just the right freshness which further contributes to outstanding balance in the grapes. The vineyards grow on slightly sloping terraces overlooking the village of Sablet.
Soils are comprised of sand and soft rock made of white clays and limestone scree – all subtle ingredients from which the Côtes-du- Rhône Villages Sablet draw their finesse and their unique character.
