The planted grape varieties are single and atypical for the area of the valley of the Marne: 45% of Chardonnay, 40% of pinot meunier and 15% of pinot noir. The barouche, emblem of the house represented on the label of the vintage Terre d' Emotion, symbolizes the duty to perpetuate know-how and the values received in heritage. The pieces of old vines intended for the development of the vintages Terre d' Émotion, are cultivated in biodynamy.
