About the Vineyard
Les Monts Ferrés is a single plot of Chardonnay planted on a predominantly Pinot Noir terroir. This plots marks the limit between the Grand Crus and Premier Cru border, south of the Côte des Blancs, on the Vertus side. The name "Iron Hills" when translated into English, originates from the intriguing composition of the soil. While predominantly chalky, it notably contains a significant concentration of iron.
