Viticulture

At Château des Annereaux, viticulture is a commitment as much as a craft. The estate has been farmed organically since 2007, certified since the 2010 vintage, and its vines are grown with care for nature and for the balance of the terroir. Guided by the principles of agroecology, the estate works to preserve soil health and encourage biodiversity.

110 fruit trees and 3 kilometres of hedgerows have been planted, creating ecological corridors around the vineyard. 140 nesting boxes have been installed for bats and tits, which help regulate insect populations naturally, and three beehives are kept on the estate. Cover crops between the rows limit erosion, improve soil structure and support the long-term vitality of the soil.

The estate works with Simonit & Sirch, specialists in gentle pruning, to support the health and longevity of the vines. Their method respects the natural physiology of the vine and helps reduce trunk diseases.

Château des Annereaux has been B Corp certified since 2023. The certification reflects a wider approach that includes protecting biodiversity, reducing the estate's carbon footprint, notably with solar panels, and responsible business practices.

From winter pruning to harvest, every decision is guided by close observation and adapted to the character of each vintage. The aim is to make balanced wines that are true to their terroir, and to hand on a living estate to the generations to come.
