Located in the village of Saint-Baldoph, the majority of Mathieu's land consists of Jacquère vines planted outside the winery: a serene three hectares surrounded by quaint houses and, not too far in the distance, the imposing Massif de Chartreuse. The vines are 30 to 70 years old, exposed East and planted on clay and limestone soils heavy in fragmented mica-schist and quartz brought by ancient glaciers. The rest of the vines are planted in the nearby village of Saint Alban, where Jacquère grows alongside Altesse on a steep, gravelly hill. Though 80% of the production consists of white wine, a small amount of Gamay and Mondeuse is also produced.
