Brendan Stater-West’s lieu-dit, Les Chapaudaises

Vineyard soil is completely composed of tuffeau limestone

Brendan’s single hectare of vines comes from the lieu-dit, Les Chapaudaises.  A half-kilometer from the now famous butte of Brézé, on slightly elevated slope, the vineyard soil is completely composed of tuffeau limestone with calcium-rich clay and sand with a plentiful supply of seashell fossils.
