The vineyards are sheltered from the winds of the North on the slopes of Freterive and St Jean de la Porte, in the heart of the Combe de Savoie. The vineyard is composed of young and old vines. Sloping slopes, full sun south. Manual harvest.
Son and grandson of Savoyard winegrowers, Jean Vullien created his own farm in 1973 with Jeannine, his wife. Their two sons, David and Olivier, joined them in 1998 and 1999. David and Olivier now manage the farm, tending to 40 hectares (98 acres) in the villages of Chignin, Montmélian, Arbin, St-Jean de la Porte, and their hometown of Fréterive. The grapevines grow in a calcareous soil made of scree, and the grapes are picked by hand.
