AOP from Flemish Heuvelland (West Flanders, 2005) on the south-facing slopes of Kemmel and Monteberg, well-draining sandy-loamy soils, cool climate tempered by the North Sea. Chardonnay, Pinot Gris, and Kerner are the signature whites: taut and precise with notes of citrus, apple, white flowers, and a mineral touch, cutting acidity — ideal for traditional-method sparkling wines. Auxerrois, Riesling, and Pinot Blanc as complements. Still wines, rosés, and sparkling wines.
