WINE DESCRIPTION
Located a few kilometers from Libourne, northeast of Bordeaux, this property spans 18 hectares of vines in two appellations: Montagne Saint-Émilion and Lalande de Pomerol. The vineyards feature clayey-sandy soils in Montagne Saint-Émilion. To preserve the vineyard and respect the terroir, gentle cultivation techniques have been implemented. Green manures such as vetch, clover, and barley are sown in the fall to enhance soil microbial life, promoting vineyard biodiversity and symbiosis. Mechanical weeding and refined soil management ensure minimal intervention. Since 2011, the estate has held HVE3 environmental certification, reducing phytosanitary products and controlling diffuse pollution. This sustainable approach aligns with their commitment to environmental stewardship.
