Organic wine
Offering a wine that is as natural as possible could be reason enough, but it is not the estate's only motivation. Organic farming reflects a broader wish to practise viticulture that is ecologically responsible.
The first to benefit from clean, environmentally respectful viticulture are people: those who work in the vineyard every day and those who live near the plots. It also benefits the vineyard itself, by preserving soil life, encouraging biodiversity in the surrounding flora and fauna, and safeguarding the long-term quality of the terroir.
« True organic farming is neither a fad for urban idealists nor a return to the past, but a highly sophisticated form of agriculture grounded in extensive scientific knowledge. »
« Wine is the healthiest and most hygienic of beverages. »
Marc Dufumier, agronomist and former student of René Dumont, is a leading figure of agroecology, which he defines as “the science that studies ecosystems shaped by farmers”. His approach is scientific: far removed from industrial, yield-driven agriculture, and equally distant from fashionable theories that rely on esotericism, credulity or opportunistic marketing.
In his view, “with its specifications, its label and its certification system, organic agriculture is the form of farming that most closely aligns with agroecology”.
