In order to create this harmonious Arbois Trousseau, we identified and selected one of the best plot adapted to this grape variety in the historical family Maire’s estate: The “Aux Anes” (donkey) parcel located in the far north of the Domaine and to the northwest of the Arbois village:
- Surface: 4,96 Ha
- West and North West exposure
- Average age of vines : 28 years ( 1993 )
- Soils: clays and marls.
The work in the vines, is based on the respect of the nature and the soil. For young vines, located on steep slopes, to avoid erosion, we cultivate a row out of two, practice soil reassembly to aerate the lands subjected to settlement due to moisture, and grass with plants. Such as clover, which, by competing on the vine, can modulate its mineral and water supply and control its vigour and yield.
The Guyot double size is necessary to better control its performance.
