EXPOSURE: N/A

SOILS: White chalk soil dating from the CAMPANIAN (Upper Cretaceous geological period), with some silty and stony outcrops resulting from the erosion of surrounding peaks. Made of very pure limestone, this chalk is highly porous and thus has a very high water retention capacity. However, it can cause chlorosis in the vines, which is managed by choosing an adapted rootstock.

Sommelier's Note

"PRISME is one of the house's high-end cuvées. Of great complexity, its tension is perfectly mastered, and its gourmet expression of marzipan and citrus forms a perfectly balanced ensemble. It is tonic, mouth-watering, in a word: perfect!"
