La Ferme Viticole - Bastien Boutareaud
The Wine Farm brings together several small plots, for a total area of 1.3 hectares. (located at the foot of the castle of Baux de Provence and in the natural park of Alpilles). Our goal is to move towards a non-interventionist agriculture, with respect for the living and in polyculture. Being still too small to allow us to produce enough, the friends sell us grapes on feet, obviously organic or in conversion, that we harvest and vinify at the cellar. Our trade with identity that of the CLANDESTINO. Why? Because our story began clandestinely, by recovering grapes from abandoned plots. From this adventure begun between friends, was born the insurance to carry the values of a more just agriculture and especially more in listening with us and the mother nature.
In the vineyards we work at the hoe. Hand-picked grapes.Work on the ground on horseback.
The vinification is simple and natural. It is a permanent attention with a minimum of intervention. No filtration, bottled by gravity. Indigenous yeasts of course, pressing reds at the ratchet press. No addition of sulfur, only if the wine asks for it.At this time, a homeopathic dose will be prescribed to him.Raising in barrels or stainless steel tank.
In view of our production, we have turned towards micro vinifications, often unique.
We do not have any designation or certification.
