The biodynamic approach goes further than organic farming by being respectful of the soil, the vines and the people. The winegrowers who use this method want to enhance the exchanges between the soil and the vines, by intensifying the life of the soil so that it can strengthen and develop as well as possible.
Committed to biodiversity and the environment, biodynamic winegrowers do not use any chemical inputs, but plant-based preparations (manure and even horns!) to energise and strengthen the vine. To treat their vines and avoid diseases, the winegrowers also follow the lunar calendar.
Two organisations certify bidynamic wine: Demeter and Biodyvin. Both labels guarantee demanding and transparent specifications.
If there is a debate on the organoleptic qualities of biodynamic wines, for some, when tasting, there is no difference between a traditional wine and a biodynamic wine! In our opinion, there is only one way to get an idea: taste it!
Les Grappes promotes French winegrowers harvesting their grapes and in particular winegrowers working in biodynamics. Concerned about their impact on biodiversity, they are keen to enhance the value of the land and the vines they work to produce the best wines.
