Aric vines are spread across several terroirs, representing the domaine’s identity. They are mostly growing at the foot of Mount Alaric like the “Metairie”, and along the “Coste Lise”, a little hill that separates the main estate from Las Vals. Because of these situations, the soils are a combination of stony, calcareous clay graves lying on blue marls.
