Organic wine
Our organic wine is located in the heart of Beaujolais, offering unspoiled landscapes and a rich terroir for environmentally friendly wines.
The vineyard is over 40 years old and was planted by my father. I began converting to organic farming in 2021 to rediscover the roots of the work as it was done in the past and produce organic grapes whose quality I have complete control over.
The grape variety is Gamay noir with white juice from a terroir of Piedmont and ancient alluvium
Pruning
Pruning is a job carried out during the winter. I proceed vine by vine using a “goblet” pruning technique. Specifically, I leave a support with two buds on each horn and take care to clean the remaining antlers along the horn.
At the end of the pruning, I remove the pruning wood and burn it to avoid burying wood disease fungi in the soil.
Plowing
A significant part of the work involves removing the weeds that compete with the vine, hence the necessary plowing.
This work is done regularly throughout the year, in spring, early summer, and winter. In the photo, you can see “Hermes”, the horse, ready to begin working in the rows.
