Château de Lucey

the vineyard seeks above all to produce authentic and as natural wines as possible while respecting both the environment and human beings:

In the vineyard, a great deal of preventive work is carried out upstream: tillage under the row, grassing, raising the foliage, aerating the grapes to prevent disease and promote maturity... Vine treatments, using Bordeaux mixture (copper) or sulphur, are carried out only if necessary and in very light sprays (doses 4 times lower than those authorised in AB).

In the cellar, the indigenous microbial fauna is favoured. Apart from adding a little sulphite to the bottling, no inputs to modify the original juice are added.

Thus the wines remain digestible and representative of a terroir, a vintage, a grape variety...

Our story

In 1993, Mrs Defforey, owner of the château, set up a wine-growing estate producing Savoy wines. The current winegrower, Christophe Martin, took over the management of the estate in 2010. Passionate about his work, Christophe attaches great importance to respect for the soil, the vine, the wine and the people. Thus, to stand out from the other winegrowers in the area and work in accordance with his convictions, he asked in 2012, the conversion to Organic Agriculture.
