Imagine you are at the bottom of Bellecoste’s Valat. You would feel a remarkable drop in temperature. It’s a sign of the health and balance of this place. This spring-fed gulch has been a place that has been providing sustenance, water, and shelter, as well as a steady climate for many animals and plants for […]
We graciously offer high-quality pastures to local ranchers and shepherds. Inspired by rotational grazing, our pastures and meadows are plant mixtures designed to provide better nutrition to their animals while improving soil health. Rotational grazing involves moving animals through small parcels of land. Only one parcel is grazed at a time, while the other plots […]
An Exceptional Terroir : Our terroir consists of Rhône riverbed rolled pebbles on a base of red clay with excellent drainage capacity. Thanks to this subsoil composition, our vines grow to have deep roots and, therefore, good resistance to drought. A Cool Microclimate : The north-south orientation of the slope ensures air circulation, limiting the […]
Left fallow for twenty years, this plot that we acquired in 2018 was used as an illegal dumpsite for some time. With the goal of transforming it back into healthy land, we dedicated 6 months to collect and bring 200 tons of construction and public works debris to the local landfill. This plot is not […]
Our aromatic alley functions as an “insectarium.” Bushes like rosemary, thyme, and lavender, as well as fruit trees such as pomegranate, fig, and cherry, serve as host plants for insects beneficial to our vines. Insects that provide services to plants are referred to as “beneficials.” There are four types of beneficials: – Pollinators aid […]
In just a handful of healthy soil, there are more microorganisms than there are humans on Earth. 90% of this life resides in the top 15 centimeters of soil. With regenerative agriculture, we adapt to the soil rather than altering it. This means minimizing soil disturbance and external inputs. Instead, we strategically plant cover crops […]
As we stand at the threshold of a generational handover, it’s important to reflect and shape the future of agriculture for the coming decades. The pace of change is rapid, and we believe a significant transformation is essential to meet the needs of our planet and fulfill individual aspirations. Rather than dedicating our efforts to […]
In this current context of drought, the debate has come front and center in many parts of our planet. Opinions, often formulated with absolute certainties, are often linked to past weather patterns and whether or not there is enough access to fresh water for irrigation. In our Mediterranean climate, the grape vine is one of […]
As we farmers in France say, “Trees never reach the heavens”, and after several incredibly favorable vintages that were easy to vinify, the golden series came to a brutal end. 2021 was a challenge from start to finish. If we came out the other side doing so well, it’s thanks to the tremendous investment and […]
