Terroir
The Petit Clos recalls the heart of the Grand Enclos of Las Cases, with large pebbles scattered over a seam of clay. The plateau, formerly wooded, offers soil rich in organic matter over a base of clay-gravel; across the rest of the vineyard, Quaternary gravels, older and finer than those of the Enclos, rest on humic podzols and sandy-clay gravels.
