The domaine’s vines are planted on slopes at 500 meters, on very meager, shallow clay-limestone soil. The angle of the slopes and the elevation allow the vines to be well-aired; and the elevation mitigates the Mediterranean climate, especially at night. As a nod to this high altitude terrain, in 2020 the domaine changed its name to Altugnac, which was also the historic name of the village of Antugnac in the 14th century.
