Our wines are characterised by their specific soil cultivation. This diversity is made possible by the use of different vineyards.
The different vineyards in our winery have a soil that mainly dates back to the Devonian period, roughly 380 to 400 million years ago. Fitting to certain soil structures we have chosen the grapes.
On our vineyard “ST. HERIBERT” on the edge of Profondeville, near to the village of Criee de Wepion we have cultivated a Pinot Noir precooz. The poor dense soil of this terrain is especially good for this grape. St. Heribert is part of the peak of Marlagne which is characterised by sandstone layers, quartzite and conglomerate banks, “schist” and silt. Due to the constant wind the vineyard dries out quickly and prevents diseases.
This vineyard is possibly the highest in the Walloon region. It gives a juicy, well keepable pinot noir with a slightly fresh aftertaste.
Our vineyard “FALMAGNE” on the sun hills of the river Meuse is suitable for a variety of grapes. In the small valley with sharp rising slopes the soil formation of Lustin mainly contains chalk and sandstone. The river Meuse flows directly through various sedimentary layers. On this fertile soil rich of chalk; the white Chardonnay, Auxerrois, Müller-Thurgau and Pinot Gris ripe together with the red Pinot Noir, Cabernet and Acelon.
Our top vineyard “TERRASSEN VALBURNOT” now contains Pinot Noir grapes. In the future it will also have Muscat and Chardonnay under the watchful eye of the Virgin Mary. These “TERRASSEN” situated due south are almost Mediterranean and reflected by the warm slopes they bring full and powerful wines that will give an everlasting memory. The Burnot-formation was formed in the Devonian period and contains sandstone, conglomerate, tourmaline, “schist” and silt.
