The vinous journey he started has morphed into an an institution.

Soils are quite varied and complex. The Domaine matches plantings to soils types - here the Trousseau is from the plot \"en Levrin\" that’s located north of Montigny-les-Arsures. Here the vines grow in the gray marl soils of the Lias (marine limestones, shales, marls and clays).
