Respect of biodiversity
A vineyard committed to honoring its terroir
Because wine is, above all, the fruit of the earth, Olivia and Didier Le Calvez have always placed the respect of soil and nature at the heart of their vision since acquiring the estate in 2009. From the very beginning, the vineyard has been cultivated with attentive, thoughtful practices driven by a constant desire to preserve the natural balance of our environment.
Over the years, and thanks to the meticulous work of our vineyard manager, guided by our oenologist Julien Viaud from the Michel Rolland team, the estate has strengthened its commitment to sustainable viticulture and plant health.
In constant evolution, the vineyard undergoes daily grafting and replanting work to progressively renew its plots. By 2025, nearly 50% of the vineyard has already been replanted.
We are currently engaged in a transition toward practices inspired by biodynamics, supported by Jacques Fourès, a highly respected consultant who has guided numerous Bordeaux Grands Crus through this evolution.
A preserved environment
The development of agroforestry on the vineyard
In addition to the 3.5 hectares of wood present in the vineyard, completely cleaned when it was taken over in collaboration with the Office Narional des Fôrets, many country hedges and trees continued to be planted, their benefits not being more to prove. In summer, this brings freshness to the plots thanks to their shade, but also nourishes the soil and shelters birds, insects and bats throughout the year.
Biodiversity
A protected and valued ecosystem
Hives have been installed in the middle of our woods, in collaboration with a beekeeper from the region. These elements are particularly important because they allow us to continue to preserve the fauna and flora present in our vineyard and thus guarantee total preservation of the ecosystem.
