Its vineyards, facing south, are spread over the valleys of a clay-limestone soil with ridges of gravel, particularly favorable to Bordeaux grape varieties.
Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon for reds and rosés. Semillon, Sauvignon and Muscadelle for whites. All allowing Château Le Noble to present a range of wines ready to satisfy the most demanding gourmets.
The vines are on average 35 years old. They are the subject of cultural practices at the forefront of current viticultural know-how. Special attention is given to soil treatment, which favors light plowing and natural enrichment during the planting stage.
