Our Vineyard is like a Nature Reserve

Age-old Burgundy traditions are implemented in our young, virgin soil:

• Densely planted vines (3‘x6’).
• Vine-vigor and crop level kept to a minimum by dry farming and precision pruning.
• Vinifera vines are grown on their own roots (this area is free of phylloxera).
• The long-term well-being of the soil and the vines is ensured by a sustainable approach to viticulture combining organic and Bio-dynamic principles.
• A well-balanced, symbiotic micro-cosmos is established in our farm, including humans, animals, trees, vines, and all other living organisms.
• Our vineyard is like a natural reserve: free of herbicides, insecticides, pesticides, and chemical fertilizers. To control mildew, we spray elemental sulfur two to three times per season (compared to 8-15 times of powerful “high-tech” fungicides in conventional viticulture).

We tend to every vine numerous times during the season, making sure every shoot bears only what it can ripen fully. The small size of the vineyard allows us to harvest only perfectly ripe grapes, in consecutive passes through the vines.
