Product Description
After last year's difficult agriculture season, we dreamt of a little serenity for 2008. But nature decided differently in other words, sending us 4 months of rain and sun deprivation during summer. Thankfully, part of September was particularly hot and dry. By using natural products and plants to treat our vineyard, we were able to prevent illness amongst the vines as well as gaining more knowledge in our method of viticulture by respecting and accompanying them in their development with tenderness and harmony. Finally for the first time in more than 40 years, the sound of horse's hooves have replaced that of tractors as an experiment destined to avoid compacting the soils.
