HISTORY
Cela a débuté par un rêve et une passion commune du vin entre les membres de notre famille. Un père et une mère ex-comptables agréés qui ont eu du succès pendant plus de 30 ans dans le domaine de la construction et leur fille qui a comme bagage un peu d’art, un peu de service, un peu de sommellerie mais principalement beaucoup de passion pour être la vigneronne. Son conjoint, Une famille unie, hétéroclite dans ses connaissances et autodidacte, ce qui fait de nous des amoureux de notre métier, notre rêve, notre aventure. Cette histoire est simplement la passion du bon vin et de la bonne bouffe ! Nous travaillons à transmettre cet héritage de génération en génération.
PHILOSOPHY
Although agricultural and chemical aspects are involved, growing grapes and making wine is an art. The term "reasoned" best describes the way we cultivate our 7.5 hectares of shale soil.
The harvest, this key moment in a vineyard, is done with great care. Our manual harvesting allows us to select the bunches with the right maturity, thus ensuring the quality of the grapes picked. A traditional know-how with state of the art facilities defines our way of working.
TECHNOLOGY
Unusually, our vines are maintained at a temperature of -10°C during the cold season thanks to geothermal energy. This technology also allows us to protect our vines from late winter frosts and to extend the growing season. The use of this renewable energy to heat the vines is a unique idea and the result of a lot of work, imagination and folly on the part of our team. This patented world first consists in drawing energy from the soil to heat the berries.
ENVIRONMENT
We are always striving to improve our way of doing things: the energy used to heat our winery, our vats, our cellars and all our air conditioning needs is obtained through geothermal energy. Using energy from the ground through geothermal energy minimizes our environmental footprint. All of our wastewater, including that from the production of our products, is treated before being disposed of by infiltration into the ground. Our packaging is 100% recyclable and even our glass bottles are made from 85% recycled glass.
We recycle and compost in all departments including the kitchen and dining room. We have several gardens, under the concept of organic agriculture, in order to develop products for the store or our menus. We have implemented a paperless environment for our offices. We value local purchasing and partnerships with nearby producers. There is always room for improvement, the future will only be greener in the way we operate. The main idea is to pass on to future generations an example and a healthy agricultural business!
