Les Fleurs Jaunes

We cultivate and vinify using methods that respect living things, the idea being to practice sustainable and resilient viticulture and to support peasant agriculture.

The estate's plots are located at an altitude of 350m on a clay-limestone terroir. They are planted with a 20-year-old Merlot for a part, Grenache and Carignan planted in 2022 by us and Sauvignon Blanc and Cabernet Sauvignon located a little lower. We do not work the soil or very little, the inter-rows are grassed.

Treatments against mildew and powdery mildew are carried out meticulously to use as little copper as possible (less than 2 kg per year per hectare). Herbal teas are also used (nettle, oak bark, horsetail) and sometimes biodynamic preparations (silica, horn dung).

The practice of gentle pruning (physiological pruning which respects the plant and its sap flow) helps to limit wood diseases.

The harvest is carried out when ripe, manually, in crates, so as not to damage the grapes.

The grape varieties are vinified separately with the aim of preserving their own characteristics as best as possible.

The wines are vinified without any additives or sulfites. They are neither fined nor filtered. Racking and bottling are carried out according to the biodynamic calendar.
