About us
Vineyard conducted in organic and biodynamic agriculture. Priority to biodiversity, living soils rich in carbon and organic matter, for strong and healthy vines, and quality, balanced wines, reflections of their terroir.
Denis and Didier Berthollier took over the reins of the family estate at the end of the 90s. Very quickly, they decided to stop all use of chemicals in the vines, convinced that the land can only produce beautiful grapes if it is healthy and well. alive. Priority is then given to biodiversity, living soils rich in carbon and organic matter. The vine becomes stronger and will produce high quality juice. Today, the vineyard is managed using organic farming and biodynamics. All work in the vineyard is carried out by hand, the wines are vinified without sulfur, long aging is required, certain vintages are aged in amphorae.
