Description
The Domaine:
For as long as we can remember, farming has always been a part of our family history; in the past we specialised in vegetable growing and presently we are winegrowers. Today, we are both enthusiastic farmers and devoted winemakers. Our passion for the soil, the vines, good wine and good food, gives us the strength to keep our terroir alive and develop our family heritage. It leads us to grow and make wine in the most natural way possible, whether on the vertiginous slopes of the Côte-Rôtie or on the gentle hillsides of the Coteaux du Lyonnais.
The estate is currently run by Guillaume Clusel, Gilbert Clusel and Brigitte Roch.
It has 20 hectares vines, on three historic vineyards of the Lyonnais, Ampuis (AOC Côte-Rôtie, AOC Côtes-du-Rhône et Vin de France), Condrieu (AOC Condrieu), Millery (AOC Coteau du Lyonnais).
We have been practicing organic farming in our Côte-Rôtie vineyards since the end of ninety's (official retraining since 2002).
Given the steep topography of our vineyard, for a period of time we were using, like many winemakers, chemical weed killers. This allowed us to limit the need for manual labour, which nevertheless remained enormous. We were also very moderately using mineral fertilizers. After a number of years we noticed a lot of problems in the structure of the soils and the life of stocks. After many questions and attempts to resolve these issues, we decided to return to the practices of ploughings and scraping, although the steep slopes of Côte-Rôtie make such activities very difficult. Only some plots of land are possible for mechanisation. For the steepest-sloping plots, we are obliged to plough with a winch, and to finish with a hoe. We now need practically one person per hectare.Our other vinyards (Condrieu, Coteaux du Lyonnais, Côtes-du-Rhône et Vin de France) are also certified organic.
