The AOC is especially uniform. The whole commune is located right in the middle of the granitic axis in northern Beaujolais. It is extremely rare for an appellation to be so uniform in terms of rock substratum and soil depth.
100% granitic cru. The 350-million-year-old granite has gradually weathered into friable saprolite, locally called ‘gore’. This is where the soils are the thinnest and sandiest.

The soils composed of granite produce fresh, generous and expressive wines.
