Domaine C.

Tillage From the fall, we work the soil by sowing green manures, made up of around thirty different species, which we reuse from year to year. The aim is to preserve the diversity, and therefore the balance of flora and insects. These fertilizer seedlings are rolled in the spring to form plant cover, and the root systems help aerate and nourish our land. Grafting The gesture of the hand gives meaning to the work of the earth. For several years, we have been planting American rootstocks to which we allow the necessary time to develop a solid root network capable of feeding on the calcareous soil. These plants are then grafted in place, from local grape varieties made from mass selections on the most beautiful vines of the appellation. The practice of grafting in place is for us a way to abandon the nursery, the poverty of its clones and the coldness of its mechanical welds in favor of genetic diversity and the ancestral winemaker gesture of grafting, symbol of the fusion between roots and leaves. Biodynamics More than an agricultural practice, biodynamics represents for us a return of peasant common sense and a contact with our place. A whole part of the estate is devoted to local fauna, insects as well as vegetable and flower production, in particular for our preparations based on comfrey, nettle, yarrow and horsetail.
