Berthaut's plot is sourced from 0.96 hectares (2.37 acres) and it is located at the north end of Les Arvelets in the central portion of the vineyard’s slope on both sides of a small path that cuts through the vineyard. It is on the Crinoidal limestone and the sandy marls. The soil is the deeper, clayey yet stony type described above for the lower two-thirds of Arvelets. Amélie’s vines are planted across the slope instead of downslope. The average age of the vines is 40 years old.
