Le Bois Sacré is a small 4-hectare vineyard planted on south/southeast-facing slopes overlooking the Pyrenees, at an altitude of 280 meters. The Béarnais climate benefits from both the influence of the Atlantic Ocean and the Pyrenees, which impart freshness and minerality to their wines. The silty-sandy soils, derived from Jurançon puddingstones, with iron-rich sandstone pebbles, often lead to the emergence of aromatic citrus and even exotic fruit flavors, underpinned by a mineral base.
