Domaine de L'Ecu

Created in its time by avant-garde Guy Bossard, the Ecu estate has been certified in Organic farming since 1975 and in Biodynamics since 1998 (Demeter) on all of its 24 hectares. The domain was taken over by Fred Niger, always in the same dynamic. We have given up all technological artifice in the cellar to break with the movement of standardization of wines and preserve the link between each of our cuvées with a terroir and a vintage. Our wines are without added So2 or sulphites at least, by conviction, with So2 levels included around 30/40 mg / L. At a time when modern oenology triumphs (good or bad, you see), we often tend to forget that a great wine is conceived above all in the vineyard: plowing the soil, controlled yields, disbudding, split, manual harvesting and respect for the biotope.
