From Eric Texier himself: "From a handful of rows in our 0.5 ha of a very particular strain of Serine.

Maréchaudes is a part of the Aloxe commune, which is tiny with only 100 residents!

Mid-slope and predominantly limestone (Lavières comes from the word "lave" which here has nothing volcanic about it but was the term used in the past to describe the flat limestone slabs used to cover the roofs).
