The stony plateau is where the red varieties are grown; the vines having an average age of 40 years, with yields that never exceed 35hl.\/ha. Down at the bottom of the hillsides there are more alluvial soils, ideal for the production of Chardonnay and Vermentino.  There is minimum intervention in the vineyards and largely organic methods are used, with the sea breezes  keeping diseases at bay and reducing the need for chemical vineyard treatments. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe wine making team is headed up by Vincent Maurel, who has been making the wines at Saint Hilaire for over 25 years. Vincent is well-known for his attention to detail and the Kents have extensively invested in new winery equipment to make sure that the wines have an added level of precision and depth.

The stony plateau is where the red varieties are grown; the vines having an average age of 40 years, with yields that never exceed 35hl.\/ha. Down at the bottom of the hillsides there are more alluvial soils, ideal for the production of Chardonnay and Vermentino.  There is minimum intervention in the vineyards and largely organic methods are used, with the sea breezes  keeping diseases at bay and reducing the need for chemical vineyard treatments. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe wine making team is headed up by Vincent Maurel, who has been making the wines at Saint Hilaire for over 25 years. Vincent is well-known for his attention to detail and the Kents have extensively invested in new winery equipment to make sure that the wines have an added level of precision and depth.
