OBSERVATION, LISTENING & PATIENCE
ARE THE MASTER WORDS
Observation, listening and patience are the key words for the development of great Champagnes wines.
It is by starting by resonating our wine-growing practices that we have changed our whole vision and our cultural practices.
We like to work with the earth, to touch it, to feel it and above all to listen to it. We feed her every year with fermented extracts and 5 clover essences to provide her with all the nutrients she needs.
Light scratching is also carried out every other row in some plots and 2 out of 6 rows for others between the vines and the rows in order to regulate the vegetation and promote good microbial functioning in the soil.
In order to promote biodiversity as well as the beauty of our landscapes, we have installed many hedges and small shrubs to revive our plots.
