The name GRATE-CAP, the place where the cellar and vat-room are situated, just in the middle of the vines, is derived from the Old Latin which some people freely translate as “a gathering of wines producing a delicious wine".

This vineyard, planted on a gravel soil over a clayey an iron-pan subsoil, is composed of selected grape varieties vines, producing about 50 tonneaux* of a very full-bodied wine, excessively fragrant and very much in demand.
