Virginie farms two parcels in Forêts totaling approximately 1.7 hectares: one of roughly 60-year-old vines beside Vincent Dauvissat's holdings and another of approximately 25-year-old vines neighboring Raveneau. Mixed clays and decomposed rock over limestone, together with the warm southeastern exposure, give Forêts its characteristic power and intensity. Approximately 30% of the élevage takes place in barrel.
