Environment

Our commitment is reflected in the vineyard by the choice of mechanical weeding over chemical weeding, and by the permanent employment of a tractor operator. The investment in an intercep tool, an agricultural tool hitched behind a tractor, enables us to remove the grass between the vines and close to the stocks, a job that used to be done by hand. Other solutions are available to us, such as planting short grass between the rows of vines to prevent the proliferation of weeds. We pioneered its use in the region.

The HVE approach also makes us think about the use of water resources for the vines. We use precise drip irrigation and pay close attention to the water needs of the vines, while limiting irrigation according to the rules defined by the specifications of our appellations.

The HVE approach also limits the use of products that are harmful to humans, but authorizes the use of systemic products that will act more effectively in the vineyard, without damaging the ecosystem, in order to produce in a sustainable and responsible way. We leave borders and forests, so that not everything is cultivated and biodiversity can continue to develop. We treat cellar waste in our purification basin, which is made up of reeds adapted to the environment. We have bought an electric car for short trips, which limits our carbon footprint.
