The estate
This estate covers 17 hectares, mainly in the Côte Chalonnaise, but also in the Côte de Beaune and Côte de Nuits.
Since 2001, it has chosen, for the good of the vines and the soil, to stop using herbicides. Pushing the environmental approach even further, 60% of the estate was managed according to organic farming methods in 2008. Satisfied with these experiments, he plans to apply for organic certification in 2009.
He uses the lunar calendar for the various tasks in the vineyard. When harvest time comes, he does not hesitate to take the risk of harvesting late. The aim is to reach the end of the ripeness of the grapes in order to obtain wines that are taut, full-bodied, with a nice minerality and a present acidity.
For the estate, the wines are made first in the vineyard. As he no longer uses herbicides, a lot of ploughing and ridging is done. He stops working the soil around 15 July. If necessary, the vines are mowed to reduce the humidity of the soil before the harvest and thus avoid the appearance of rot.
A lot of green work is done throughout the year. Harvesting is 100% manual.
