Our Work Philosophy
Our technology
The grapes are hand-picked and carefully sorted before they arrive in the cellars.
Aware of the fragility of this schistose terroir, we have chosen to respect it by working as naturally as possible. That is why, since 2001, we have been cultivating according to the principles of ‘sustainable agriculture’ and, since 2009, according to the principles of organic farming (Ecocert certification).
Our organic agriculture
In September 2009 we started the conversion of our entire vineyard to Organic Agriculture (AB). September 2012, it's done, we obtain our certification in Organic Agriculture (wine and vineyard). After 10 years of responsible cultivation, this is the logical continuation of the work.
The construction of our new winemaking building was completed in 2012: Canadian wells for gentle and natural air conditioning. Also the porous limestone 'pierre du Gard' building blocks allow the building to 'breath'. We use gravity to avoid excessive pumping. Everything is conceived to avoid any waste of water or electricity.
In 2020, a photovoltaic shading system will be installed in the winery. The electric production of this shading device will make the winery autonomous.
Our commitments
We are committed
- to produce environmentally friendly wines by not using any pesticides or weedkillers
- to use only certified organic products
- to limit our carbon footprint. In 2020, we built a photovoltaic shade structure and are now virtually energy self-sufficient in our wine-making and ageing cellar.
- to respect local biodiversity, which is why we welcome beehives to our plots every year.
- to limit all unnecessary water consumption. Our winery has been specially designed to recover cleaning water to water the green roof so as not to waste this precious resource unnecessarily.
- to inform consumers about our environmental initiatives in our wine shop when we meet them, or via our website and social media.
- to prioritise well-being at work by always listening to our staff and promoting well-being, safety and kindness.
