Our
vineyard is entirely based on " reasoned" culture
so that the produced wine looks like our soil (argilo-
limestone).
The ground is plowed over all the width of the row
and “soussolé” once
a year to “décompacter” as a whole, to support its ventilation
and to make it possible the roots to draw all the elements indepth. |
We
only use organic manures in case of deficiencies noted by analyses (vegethumus,
composted local manure). Phytosanitaries treatments (Mildew,
oidium) are only containing
soufre and copper
and always adapted according to climatic risks, the sensitivity
of the plot and type of wine. |
