Organic Conversion

RESPECT FOR THE LAND


Sustainable culture

The vine cultivation is sustainable with the lowest use of inputs. Our vineyards are mostly protected by mating disruption, an alternative to insecticides.

Organic wines

Our Estate is preparing for the conversion to organic cultivation, mindful of a culture committed to our future and our children’s future.

« Our culture is sustainable and part of a global and coherent “from vine to wine”-reflection. » Etienne-Arnaud Dopff

ORGANIC CONVERSION


Our soil amendment practices

Each type of soil is worked in a specific way. Green “fertilizers” are regularly used to prevent damage to the soils through plowing and excessive use of inputs.

Our planting, pruning
and growing practices

We use the GUYOT double pruning system, respecting the sap flows in order to ensure the durability of the vineyards and the regulation of the production. The vine growing is controlled by disbudding practices but we do our best to find a natural balance. Furthermore, we only dig up the plots when they no longer meet our quality requirements

Our harvest practices

Exclusively hand-picking is done with a view to respecting the raw material as much as possible.
