Rochetin D.

Our terroir The vineyard is located on stony hillsides, limited in depth, mainly made up of clay deposited on rocky banks of sandstone and hard limestone. Many shards (angular pebbles) are present in the clay layer. The rocky banks, very cracked, allow the rootlets to infiltrate to pockets of earth to draw the deep water reserves that the vine needs. Especially in summer when the shallow surface layer is parched by the sun. In the glass it gives fresh and fine wines, round without being fat, keeping a fruit intact. A beautiful man/nature collaboration found in each of our wines. Our philosophy All the vineyard plots of the estate, 23 hectares, are certified by ECOCERT in Organic Agriculture. We do not use any synthetic products on our grapes and in our wines, making them and making us, completely trusting. Out of conviction, respect for people and the environment, the domain embarked on this approach in 2009. The soils are mechanically weeded by an intercep tool that allows to work even under the rows of vines, the vine is protected by Bordeaux porridge and sulfur used preventively at very low doses. A daily presence in the vineyards, an anticipation of climatic events are essential to carry out the harvest. This reasoning is a continuation of the cellar by respecting our grapes and minimizing inputs during the different stages of wine life. A rigorous and logical organization of the work allows us to free ourselves from wine products. This will is reflected in our wines and allows us to deliver products without artifice in the image of our terroirs.
