Côte du Py is a volcanic hill towering over the middle of the Morgon appellation with south-southeast exposure. The soil is composed of manganese-rich schist which breaks down into clayey soils.

Our estate is one of the oldest in the appellation and has continued to expand since the 1950s. In 1985, we were able to take advantage of the division of the Morgon appellation area into 6 climates, including the Côte du Py, which covers 3 hectares of the estate.
