La Sauvageonne tasting book

The estate is located at the north-west of Montpellier, leaning on the Causse du Larzac, between 150 and 350 meters of height, on a 57-hectare area. We find two different soils, on one hand the “ruffes”, a thin, filtering soil rich in minerals such as bauxite, iron, aluminum, and on the other hand sandstone and shale, deeper and broken, allowing the creation of a water reserve.

The plots are located at the center North of the Hérault region. This climatic zone knows large range of temperatures due to its distance from the sea and proximity with the Causse, that bring a freshness during summer nights, beneficial to a slow, progressive ripening of the berries.
