The region benefits from a mix of Atlantic, Mediterranean, and continental influences, providing ideal conditions for growing a variety of indigenous grape varieties that thrive in this area. The Plageoles family has long been based in this region, and their vineyards are planted on rolling hills, with soil compositions ranging from clay and limestone to gravel and sand. This diversity in terroir allows them to craft wines that are complex and expressive of their origins.
