![]() ![]() We take into account lunar cycles when we make these interventions. So we prune the vines as nearas possible to the budding time, respect the sap flow, plough the surface of the soil, remove excess buds, deleaf and tie the canopy up to permit air and light to circulate, and to limit entanglements in the vegetation. ![]() We get ourselves prepared to apply prophylactic measures in our plots, to diminish diseases of the vine wood and the impact of pests and fungal attacks. To make this happen, anticipation is everything. We support them, and encourage them each year to reinforce their natural defences while preserving the environment. Being familiar with practices which respect organic life, we have tended our vines in the direction of more autonomy. To bring clarity to our techniques of viticulture and vinification, we engaged in the process of ECOCERT accreditation in 2009, becoming certified in 2012. Our Domaine moved towards organic viticulture during the 2000s. ![]()
