Terroir of Les Bessards

Les Bessards is a legendary lieu-dit, the true backbone of Hermitage, imposing a natural constraint on the vine. Here, the roots plunge deep into the earth, giving rise to a mineral, vertical Syrah with restrained power. The soil consists of decomposed granite mixed with alluvial deposits, poor in organic matter yet offering remarkable drainage capacity. With 6.9 hectares, we are fortunate to be among the most significant stakeholders in Les Bessards. Our vines are spread across 75 terraces, ranging from 120 to 263 meters in altitude.

Les Bessards embodies our commitment to working each site with exacting standards and precision. Deep and soulful, it is a wine for cellaring imbued with the eternal nature and austere beauty of its terroir. Les Bessards is crafted with the utmost respect for its terroir, from vineyard to vinification and ageing.
