Produce better, aim for zero residue

Through our agricultural and agronomic training, we have always wanted to produce the healthiest possible wines and limit our impact on the environment. On our Atlantic vineyards which are more exposed to precipitation than other French or foreign terroirs, we therefore consider that organic farming is only a half-solution, due to the sharp increase in the number of copper treatments compared to the reasoned fight that we practice. Our ambition is therefore to reduce the use of phytosanitary products without the increase in tractor traffic and the leaching of Bordeaux mixture onto the soil having too much impact. We therefore created an R&D position in 2018 with the aim of producing with "zero-residue" both in wines AND in soils... The project is to study and develop tools to support our winegrowers- partners in this transition stage. An ambitious project implemented with agronomic realism and concern for efficiency, keeping us from simplistic ideologies, opportunistic shortcuts and mercantile dogmas. To keep at the center of our concerns only the health of our vineyards, our soils, our consumers and our producer-partners and those of the next generations.
