Origin
This appellation is unique as it is considered to be a regional appellation, though it is limited to a restricted area.

The soil is composed of limestone outcrops that Chardonnay thrives in and that lend character and lovely freshness to the wine. Only 120 hectares are planted with Chardonnay.
