It is a sap-filled vine, which produces very ripe grapes, with generous flesh sometimes with exotic accents. Less exposed (southwest) and more ventilated than the \"Salins\" and \"La Perette\" vines, the wine gains in sobriety.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp\u003eWhen approaching, by the path called \"Caton\" passing at the foot of the hill, the view seems blocked by this cone of scree massively delimiting the western slope from the southern slope of \"La Savoyarde\" (name of the mountain): a topography which exposes the vines to natural ventilation favorable to the good health of the grapes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e The bottom of the cone ends without transition in the marshes of the valley.
