Ludovic Engelvin

The estate is spread over three municipalities: Vicq-le-Fesq, which hosts the winery housed in a former blue clay silkworm from the 12th century and three hectares (Grenache and Mouvèdre) Souvignargues and Aujargues for three other hectares, exclusively in Grenache. According to peasant common sense, the vineyard is worked with respect for the living. With this in mind, the Raïole breed was introduced on the farm in autumn 2013, hardy ewes from Piedmont Cévenol. Their presence promotes soil life. In addition to the presence of sheep, the old vines intended for the production of great wines are worked without any mechanical intervention. Treatments on the vines, when necessary, are carried out based on herbal teas and essential oils. After sorting carried out directly in the vineyard, the entirely manual harvest is done in boxes in order to respect the integrity of the fruit. The vinifications are carried out in a natural way, by indigenous yeasts, without any adjuvant and without sulphur. Grapes, full stop. In order to ensure the quality of our wines, bottling is carried out by gravity after an insignificant addition of sulfur of around 1 to 1.5 grams per hectolitre. @photo credit "François Bruschet"
