Cela peut paraître évident mais ce n’est plus toujours le cas. Le sol doit rester vivant : les minéraux qui alimentent les plantes proviennent de la dégradation des matières organiques par les organismes et micros organismes du sol. C’est pourquoi, nous travaillons chaque sol sans contrarier l’écosystème existant. Certaines parcelles nécessitent un labour au cheval.
We're lucky enough to have vines with hedges or on the edge of forests; we're thinking about planting certain tree species around the vines... to protect each ecosystem: " the more 'people' there are in it - plants and animals - the richer the environment and therefore the more beneficial it is for the vines"
Some soils do not tolerate competition. We have to adapt our cultivation methods accordingly: plant cover, shallow ploughing, eliminating weeds, clawing, digging, spraying, etc. Each action is carefully thought out and measured. We are the key to balance. This enables us to achieve a fine balance in each of our wines. That's how we think we fully convey the subtlety of each terroir!
