VINEYARD CARE
THROUGH THE
SEASONS
Spring soil preparation has been performed in a traditional manner (earthing down and hoeing) throughout the entire estate since 2009. We treat and take care of the vines with natural preparations (no chemical products) and sow cover crops such as pulses and cereals at the end of summer, with close attention to the needs of each crop. We stimulate soil life with one or two applications of horn dung; (preparation 500) in spring and apply a horn silica (preparation 501) after bloom and before harvest if necessary.
Vines are short cut pruned (single guyot) during winter. Vine density is 6,500 plants per hectare.
Careful sorting is carried out in the vineyard by grape harvesters.

PRESS
Les Pierres Blanches captivates us with its stony energy and stimulating bitter-acid structure, quite in tune with the times. RVF Guide Vert 2022 par Alexis Goujard

Le Point March 2014
An outstanding success. Great density and depth, a ripe and sappy wine which holds up a rich and nuanced body. A fairly compact Muscadet, with great potential, for which you will need to know how to be patient. Superb saline finish.
