Notes from Bowler Wine:
"Pépière has 14 hectares of vines in the cru of Château Thébaud, but only a 1.5-hectare parcel of vines 25 to 70 years old goes into this bottling (the rest goes into the entry-level "La Pépie"). The south-facing site features sandy clay soils based on decomposed granite de Thébaud--which has more clay and is thus cooler and slower-ripening versus granite de Clisson--and overlying mother rock of the same granite."
