Domaine du Salut

Our Domaine is based on a sandy-gravelly soil, a very filtering soil which underlies it with nutrients and a rich biological activity because it is an ancient bed of a tributary of the Garonne. We have grassed (oats, vetch and treffle) the plots of white grapes to enrich the soil with organic matter and to ensure a nitrogenous contribution for a good development of the aroma precursors. We do not use herbicides at all and prefer to return to traditional techniques such as putting shoes on the vines and working our soils. This environmental consciousness is guaranteed by our Terra Vitis certification, integrated viticulture and, since 2020, our conversion to organic agriculture.as for the harvest, it is mechanical except for our sweet wines for which we find the festive atmosphere of the harvest by calling on all our friends and family who are rewarded with a good meal... if they have worked well!

Our story

Our old dream of returning to our family roots and the land came true in 2015 with the acquisition of our farm. We left Parisian life with our two children to come and settle down just a stone's throw from where Aurélia's great uncle had vines: we have come full circle! We are determined to make our estate evolve towards greater respect for our environment, which is above all our living environment, and to make products that resemble us. We have therefore broken with the Bordeaux codes to create labels with a more contemporary aesthetic.
