4 generations of tradition and quality
CERTIFIED AND QUALITATIVE VINES
Our nursery allows us to have a wide range of certified plants every year.
NOTRE CHARTE QUALITÉ
MASTERING THE PLANT MATERIAL
We produce all our rootstocks and most of our grafts, either on our own farm or in partnership with neighboring growers.
This independence allows us to closely monitor the health of the material to avoid a proliferation of questionable material, contaminated by various diseases.
We inspect our plots when the symptoms are most striking to prevent the taking of grafts on plants suffering from :
-
Wood diseases on all varieties
-
Decline of Syrah
-
Black Wood
For the other grafts, we prefer a local supply, which allows us to see the plots before any withdrawal. These plots are also monitored by the local union of graft producers (VITISELECTION ARDECHE).
MYCORRHIZATION
Mycorrhization is the association of a fungus and the roots of a vine. The fungus allows the vines to increase the volume of soil explored by the roots and it improves plant development and drought resistance.
You keep the benefits of mycorrhization throughout the entire life of the plot.
Mycorrhization works very well with vines planted with long roots. We do not guarantee the success of the mycorrhization when the plants are planted roots cut. This is one of the reasons why we prefer a planting machine.
SELECTION OF VIES IN THE NURSERY
-
Regular passage to remove any branches of the rootstocks which limits the risk of regrowth after planting.
-
Elimination of vines presenting red leafs in of August because it shows the plant has been poorly welded.
-
Permanent control of lots during the sorting
