Byodinamic Farming
Converting to biodynamic farming since 2024, we adhere to its principles that are the key to the quality of our wines, and we only use natural products.
Respect for the Soil
We work with phytotherapy, revitalizing and regenerating soils exclusively through composting and the use of natural biodynamic preparations. No pesticides, only natural ingredients, as we strive to go even beyond the requirements for organic wines.
Working with Cosmic Rhythms
We take into account the influences and rhythms of the sun, the moon, the planets, and the zodiacal constellations for our interventions on the vine to maximize and respect its potential.
Working with Nature
Cover crops belong in the middle of our plots and soil work is limited to the strict minimum.
Respect for the Vine
Listening to the plant, we prune while respecting the physiology of the vine and its production capacity.
This isn't a step backward, but rather a readjustment of our ancestors' "old recipes" to the current context, integrating today's knowledge and techniques.
We adopt a holistic approach in our field, taking the best of each practice and placing plants at the center of our work. We don't address a problem in isolation, but by considering all the elements of the plant and its environment. We work in partnership with plants, from the vine to the plants used for their care. The plant is the key player that allows our wines to express their full potential
Phytotherapy
We use the richness of "basic substances" from plants to care for and support the vines.
One of the main benefits of herbal medicine on plants is the use of natural biochemistry, in harmony with the functioning of the vine. Microorganisms present in the soil and on the plant immediately recognize the molecules extracted in herbal preparations because they share similar characteristics.
The main preparations used on the estate are macerations, decoctions, infusions, and fermented extracts. We use plants such as comfrey, nettle, alfalfa, dandelion, meadowsweet, fern, yarrow, and feverfew

Agroforestry
Breaking down monoculture by integrating trees and hedges is essential for the health of the vines. It simply involves coexisting trees and agricultural crops in the same space. Agroforestry restores ecological balance, prevents soil erosion, and mitigates the effects of extreme weather conditions. This practice encourages the return of biodiversity to the plots, thus enabling natural pest control. It revives the soil while helping to "cultivate water."
A project to plant 2 km of hedges is underway on the estate for the end of 2025. This project includes the integration of a diversity of tree, shrub, and medicinal plant species.
