Our soils are among the youngest in the world

Our vines grow within glacial moraine: just 15,000 years ago, the valley was a huge glacier! These really are young soils!
And despite their youth, there are vast differences in the terroirs of our Miolanet parcels: limestone, scree, silty clay.
The climate, in addition to the southern exposure for the vines on the slopes, helps to enhance the beautiful expression of terroir and to obtain optimum grape maturity.  

Work in the vineyards

The Vendange family have been tending to their vineyards for a great many years, but Benjamin and Diane have now taken the bold step of actually vinifying their own production.
 
We cultivate our vines using integrated agriculture practices, with the greatest respect for terroir and tradition. We focus on green harvesting as much as possible to stay as close as we can to our vines: pruning, disbudding, trellising, and leaf stripping, and we hand-harvest all our grapes at vintage.

Vinification, the expression of terroir

We own a modern vat house with 100% temperature-regulated stainless steel tanks, which allow us to work in the best possible conditions. 
 
We approach vinification by intervening as little as possible, to allow all the typical features of our terroir and the native grape varieties to shine through.
 
We also decided to expose some of our wines to oak barrels, to enhance them with even greater complexity.
