The wine estate

Culture of all the vineyard according to Biological Agriculture rules with control ECOCERT (Organization of certification approved).

The maintenance of the ground is exclusively mechanical and is done by ploughings and hoeings, by means of plough with teeth and of blades interceps to clear the weeds, to air and make the ground and all the micro-organisms live. A little compost (every 3 years ) comes to nourish and energize the ground.

The protection of the vine is done by the sole use of a very low dose of pulp of Bordeaux (copper salt used for more than 100 years), sulphur, and herb tea of prêle and nettle. Any synthetic product is excluded.

Many manual work is done to allow a good ventilation between the bunches, disbudding, training, partial stripping....

Limited yields grant the expression of the soil. This point is an essential condition to obtain wines with stony characteristics, but also the grands crus, the Late Harvest and "Sélections de grains nobles" wines.

Manual harvest at 100% on all 15 hectares of the vineyard. This harvest lasts over 5 weeks to pick up the grapes as close to their optimal maturity as possible.
