Situated at the mid-point of the sloping vineyards of Saint Amour, the Domaine des Billards belongs to the Barbet and Teissier families. The soil is composed of sandstone pebbles underlying granite outcroppings at a depth of 50cm to 1m and beneath that layers of clay. Farming is very traditional and natural. There is no use of herbicides. The soil is regularly ploughed to develop the biodiversity. The traditional wine making process lasts between 12 to 15 days and the use of a weighted grill to keep the “crust” submerged in the fermenting juices leads to a more effective extraction of tannins. 6000 cases produced. 5.26 Hectares.
