The domain's short story
I took over the family estate 35 years ago and I have endeavored to develop direct sales in bottles. This orientation naturally guided me towards a constant improvement of the quality of our wines, which is essential when one is in permanent contact with demanding customers. We work in this perspective from the pruning of the vine to the bottling with a rigorous and precise pruning, a reasoned fertilization with regular contributions of organic matter and lime (control of the acidity and development of the microflora of the soil...), management of the vine with optimal aeration of the bunches and trimming with a good height of foliage for obtaining a good maturity. We have carried out a lot of experiments in these fields, especially in terms of fertilization and trimming. At the plantation, the choice of the plants (rootstock and graft) is made with qualitative criteria (precocity, quality) and not quantitative. We have also carried out numerous oenological tests (comparison of yeasts, malolactic fermentation, height of juice in the vat, destemming...) in order to orient ourselves towards the techniques that best correspond to the type of wine we wish to produce.
