* Bois Ordinaires ( together with Bons Bois ).

Further out from the four central growth areas are the Bons Bois and the Bois Ordinaires grown regions.

With a poorer soil and very much influenced by the maritime climate, this area of 20, 000 hectares produces eaux de vie that are less demonstrative and age more quickly.

These less prestigious crus are excluded from blends by some smaller boutique manufacturers and are generally used for high-volume production.
