Independent winegrower near Nantes

The quality of the products is ensured by being a membership of the independent winegrowers. Each member signs a charter highlighting respect for their soil, the cultivation of their vines, the harvest of their grapes, the vinification and aging of their wine but also its bottling and marketing. The logo (a winemaker with a barrel on his shoulder) is drawn on the capsule.

This logo, is a witness of expertise. It guarantees authentic wines from responsible winegrowers with respect for tradition. In the process, the respect for the environment is a must.

Thus, to eradicate vine pests in the least polluting way, our vineyard practices reasoned control. Aware of the agricultural warnings (forecast rainfall, disease pressure.) we treat the vines on the best and the optimum days. Grassing the rows of vines also lowers the use of weedkillers. It considerably reduces the negative impacts on the environment.
