“We are looking every day for the detail that will bring more precision to our farming practices. Biodynamics is our base, rigor our daily life: doing well, at the right time. The opposite of systematism, which makes no distinction regardless of the plot. We may spend more time in a vineyard in the Bourgogne appellation than in the grand cru, because the land is sensitive to humidity, where grass grows more easily, where our teams work the soil more regularly.

The pruning of the vine is an ancestral practice on which we are also looking for details of improvement. We introduced the Simonit and Sirch pedagogy because it has proven itself. Nothing revolutionary, they themselves say. An example: we dared not bend all the vine sticks in the same direction for fear of breaking them. With them, we dared! The interest? Avoid piles of vegetation, and therefore potential diseases, as well as large pruning wounds, which are traumatic for the wood. In the end, we prolong the longevity of the vines. And an old vine gives better wines because it produces fewer, more qualitative grapes. The vine makes wine well because there are no great wines with bad grapes.”
