Ad Vinum

First vinification in 2016 and first vine in 2018. The Estate is now established on an area of just over 5 hectares, 3.5 in production (1.5 hectares was lost in the fires in July 2022 and is currently being uprooted).

The vineyard is located north of Uzès, in the village of Vallabrix (Grenache, Syrah, Sauvignon), on the old alluvium of the Rhône, the landscape is therefore hilly. The soils are quite diverse (limestone, limestone-silt, clay-limestone and loamy).

The vineyards of the estate are worked with a draft horse, the inter-row is never worked with agricultural tools, except in the year of the purchase of the vines (to level, make the first seeds...). The soil is then worked with seeds in order to decompact the soil, to make nutrient contributions for the vine (nitrogens, organic matter...) this in order to promote mycorrhizae which will facilitate communication between the plants and thus prevent diseases. But also to keep the soil cooler.
