Soil work

No chemical weedkillers is used. The soil is worked under the vines between the ranks with various tools in order to limit grass.

 

 

The conduct of the vineyard is essential ...

In the spring: disbursement allows us to regulate the number of branches. The lifting and lifting of the branches are handmade ... In summer: the stripping is carried out by hand to disentangle the grapes, avoid the pile up and guarantee optimal sunshine of the clusters. If necessary to regulate the yields, we practice the harvest in green. The goal is to obtain 10 to 14 clusters per well -positioned CEP.


Treatments

Treatments are only done with sulfur against oitdium and copper (Bordeaux porridge) against mildew. We reason our passages according to the growth of the vine and especially the rainfall.

We have been in biodynamics since 2018. This cultural practice helps the plant to push in the best conditions, this aid is in the form of herbal teas, which are prepared for the cellar according to the different climatic conditions.


What does the name organize mean?

This can be so diverse depending on the personality of their sire, that it is easier to define what it is not. An author wine is anything but a standard, stereotypical wine, made to please as many people as possible. It is therefore rarely produced in millions of copies, copying itself from vintage in vintage.

An author wine is therefore a wine that does not look like that of the neighbor. Which from year to year will evolve according to the vagaries of the weather and the mood of the author - the two that can be linked. Because the author does not rely on market studies to carry out his boat. He makes his wine as he feels, as he likes, as he can, sometimes ... and too bad if he does not please everyone.

This is why author wines are sometimes classified as "table wine" or "France wine". Because the winemaker did not plan the authorized grape variety*, makes the assembly or vinification recommended in the name **. He is often a bit rebellious, our author. But that is why we like it! ... That said, author's wines are not systematically marginal: they are present in most of the appellations, and can be part of the elite of these this***. Because they are not content to have personality: they are good, in addition! With in general aDegree of TorchabilityVery high: we never tire of it at the end of the first sip.

As author's wines are not chaptalized, levied, hacked ... They can have very different profiles depending on the vintage. It is up to us (resellers and consumers) to accept them as they are, and to remain faithful to the producers, because they need us to continue their activity.
