the farming
natural and organic farming
No synthetic product is used. We use plant-based preparations (phytotherapy) : nettle for its revitalising action, horsetail, willow… Most of these plants are collected around our vineyards. When preparing them, we always try to respect their redox potential to keep them as vital as possible. Each plant has its own specific treatment.
biodynamic farming
We use all the biodynamic preparations. That’s where the controversy and the weird stuff comes in : cow dung buried in a horn for six months, a way of turning the water back and forth…
My vision is first to focus on the result : soil fertility is improving. Secondly, our critical mind is constantly trying to explain. It seems to me that a scientific explanation is already coming in small steps, but that the scientific consensus will take time to arrive. And my artistic spirit confirms the idea that many things are made because they are beautiful, without being able to explain it. There are several ways of accessing knowledge : the way through intelligence and the way through senses. I like to walk along both paths.
ecological farming
We take into account the whole environment of our vineyards and our house. We work to stabilise bat populations with nesting boxes, we have an apiary and we always seek to reduce our pollution by reflecting on all of our practices. We are working to move closer to the autonomy of the agricultural organism.
integral ecology
We state loud and clear that we refuse an ecological vision of nature in which man should not be part of, nor interfere. We affirm that man is at the centre of nature, that it is an integral part of it. In this respect, people must be respected as much as nature. It is therefore of the utmost importance to take good care of all the human beings we come into contact with every day. It is even our daily happiness !
