THE vineyards

Set in unspoilt countryside, Céline and Nicolas, passionate winegrowers, took over the running of the family business in 2010.
Since then, we've developed and adapted the way we grow our vines and grape varieties. It was an obvious step for us to obtain High Environmental Value certification for the estate. We favour responsible viticulture that respects the environment and the work of people from the vine to the cellar. We reduce our inputs and are committed to preserving our terroirs, their biodiversity and the life of our soils and wildlife. We are also pursuing our commitment to TERRA VITIS certification, with a review and certification process for each vintage.

RESPECT FOR NATURE
AND BIODIVERSITY

The goblet-grown vines are harvested and vinified by terroir and grape variety.
The grapes are still picked and sorted by hand at optimum ripeness, then transported in small trailers to preserve the beautiful bunches of grapes.

Vineyard management

Our concern is to combine humanism and product quality to produce wines with a soul. Most of the work, such as harvesting, is carried out by hand, because at present, no mechanical technique can match the human hand. Let's not forget that the vine is a living being, and each vine must be respected to give us the best of itself.

OUR BANQUETTES

Reflections of our terroir.

OUR COTEAUX

Our stony soils.

our soils

To study the life of our soils, we dig soil pits at least 2 metres deep in the middle of the rows of vines.
We have deep roots and earthworms, proof of the good health of our soil.

A sanctuary
of biodiversity

Our colonies of "pipistrelles", a species of small bats, nest under the roofs of the château alongside swallows and titmice, among others. Our little wild black bees still have their original hive opposite our cellars and gather flowers in our vineyards and the surrounding countryside, demonstrating their respect for our practices.
