Environment

Environment is at the heart of the work in the vineyard :

  • Absence of CMR products 
  • Absence of herbicides
  • HVE (High Environmental Value) approach
  • Sexual confusion against cluster worms
  • Autumn seeding to loosen, decompress, enrich the soil and then used as green manure
