This vineyard is located on a Permian bed of sandstone, which is covered with Permian rhyolites and alluvial deposits, generally of local origin. The vineyards face due South and benefit from the Mistral as well as from the sea breezes. A few hectares of noble varieties are being planted. The soil, red sandstone from the Permian period (acidic, volcanic rhyolite), is the archetype of the "Terroir de Fréjus".
The terroir called "La Péguière de Victor" and "L' Y", is part of the alluvial deposits of the Paleo-Endre. This paleo river, disappeared millions of years ago. It drained the basin upstream of the River Endre as it is today, crossed the Rouët hills through the Vallée Morte to the West of the estate. During the Quaternary period, a partial uplift of the range due to the Alpine folding diverted the course of the water towards the present valley.
This rare geological origin of the Rouët area explains the presence of four types of soils:
essentially shallow, sandy soils, resting on sandstone,
deep, sandy, acidic soils composed of granite and rhyolites, where some pebbles bear the traces of heating by lava,
deep, sandy soils that contain some limestone in the alluvial valley of the Paleo-Endre,
deep, yellow, clay soils with blocks and angular types of rhyolite gravel that correspond to the masses of fallen rock from the Rouët range. The clay in these soils stems from the chemical alteration of the Permian rhyolite.
