2nd edition of Trophy Engaged Bordeaux (2020)

And guess who got the Golden trophy in « Innovation et Avenir » category ? (litt : Innovation and future)

Our project of disease-resistant grape varieties !

For 6 years we have been working to get the administration and the wine professionals to accept these varieties. The result is beyond doubt : on 32 acres of vines, we are able to reduce of 80 to 90% the pesticide treatment and, of course treat only with organic products.

Our cuvee Métissage is the exemple of what the disease-resistant grape varieties  are able to produce: delicious wines with great environment benefits
