Erosion dug into the limestone plateau and cut several valleys; the subsoil is stony and ferruginous in places ; also the soil contains more limestone than the one supporting other AOC called « satellites de Saint-Emilion ».

These wines are more rustic and more full-bodied than the other Libournais AOC. Their colour is deeper, and these wines mature well with age.
