108
Q

Explain Cote Blonde ?

A

Southern part of the appellation. The vineyards lie atop a substrate mainly composed primarily of gneiss (nice).Gneiss is a metamorphic rock.

Metamorphic rocks arise from the transformation of existing rock to new types of rock in a process called metamorphism this is caused by high temperatures.

On the Côte blonde, and in similar locations, the clay soil or “arzel” that results from erosion to this substrate is extremely crumbly and unstable. They cannot be cultivated without being held in place by a series of dry stone walls known locally as “cheys”.

109
Q

Explain Cote Brune

A

To the north of the appellation, the Côte brune’s parcels lie atop a substrate composed of mica-schist. When these rocks degrade, they form less siliceous soils with a higher clay content, richer in iron and dark in colour. On the hillsides of the Côte brune or similar areas, there is more clay and therefore greater stability. The hillside is carved into narrow terraces, or “chaillées”, forming a type of stairway that secures the vines on its relatively flat steps.

Côte Blonde yields softer, alluring wines, whereas the wines of Côte Brune are stronger and more assertive.
