our red wines are made from gamay, the white ones from chardonnay. Festive wines, wines of character, exceptional wines: we vinify some plot cuvees, some wines without added sulphites, fruity wines, wines to be kept… there is something for every taste here ! We are proud of our ecolabels like Terra Vitis, High Environmental Value, or Organic Agriculture !
TERRA VITIS is a wine certification which guarantees the commitment of winegrowers to responsible and sustainable viticulture.
High Environmental Value is the 3rd level (the highest) of environmental certification for wine farms.
Organic farming is a method of producing wines using natural substances and processes.
our grafts are carefully selected and planted. The young vines are then trellised with stakes and wire. Each winter, the vines are pruned by hand. In spring, buds and leaves appear and blossom, then the bunches grow and ripen until the harvest. From March to August, the whole team takes great care of its plots, pampering the soil, the leaves, the bunches… so that every year is a vintage!
once the bunches have been picked by the grape-pickers, we keep them whole (no de-stemming) and fill the concrete vats, according to the tradition of our region. The first fermentation is carried out by yeasts, which transform sugar into alcohol, while the second is called « malo-lactic » and makes the wine silkier and rounder.
the finished wine may be aged in barrels, tuns or vats for several months. Bottling changes the container, but the wine is still alive and, as with us, the passing years make it even better!
