The name originates from an ancient paper mill that once stood on the site. The vineyard spans approximately 3 to 10 hectares of clay-limestone soils, planted primarily with Merlot and a significant portion of Cabernet Franc. The winemaking process is traditional, utilizing temperature-controlled concrete vats and long maceration periods to produce elegant, fruit-forward wines with fine tannins and excellent aging potential.
