GROWN ON THE GROUNDS

“Château Petit Verdus is living proof that there are great terroirs in Entre-Deux-Mers,” says Antoine Le Grix de la Salle. Our main asset is the diversity of our soils. The estate produces 3 labels from a 10-acre plot bottled across the road by the Le Grix de la Salle family. Our terroir boasts a unique geographical location, specific microclimates, variations in altitude and varietals. The hilly landscape where the vineyard is located, provides a veritable patchwork of soil and subsoils forming a rich, diverse ensemble. Located at 70 metres altitudes above the sea level, the plots benefit from generous sunshine and optimal ventilation. The soil type on the lower slopes is chalky-clay, gravelly-clay on the upper slopes and silty-clay in the valleys and the plateaux. This mainly clay terroir is ideal for blending rich and profound wines. The diversity of microclimates, a major feature of the concept of terroir, is essential to the complexity of Château Petit Verdus, which are mineral, aromatic, rounded and have a long finish.
