THE WAY TOWARDS BIODYNAMICS
The transformation towards a philosophy of life and work
We view the land as a living entity which needs all its organs in order to function properly.
PRELUDE
In the late 20th century, the widespread establishment of monoculture, the excessive use of “systemic” products, and the resulting degeneration of animal and plant life in the soil and subsoil, made the search for an alternative imperative. A re-thinking of values and priorities, requiring the making of some important and permanent changes, were necessary, if we were not to lose our greatest legacy: the land.
IDENTITY OF THE LAND
This is why we asked Lydia and Claude Bourguignon ‘consultants specialized in soil microbiology’ to carry out an in-depth study of our soils, with the objective of recovering the life therein, and continuing to reflect the identity of our land within our wines. To achieve this, we are working according to the precepts of agrology, a discipline based on a close observation and management of all the factors that influence our land and our habitat, a compendium of organic growing and biodynamics.
FROM ORGANIC TO BIODYAMICS
Following our experience in organic growing, which began in 2005, we introduced biodynamics. This new approach has involved the regeneration and inclusion of all that makes up our environment: the earth, the plant kingdom, the animal kingdom, the influence of the stars and human beings.
