Prenons Nos Pieds en Mains
Let us return to the origins of the vines
Our Vision
Going back to the origins of the vines
to reproduce «old-fashioned» vines,
that is, not grafted (or own-rooted),
in a context that is both ecological
and respectful of biodiversity,
to reproduce authentic wines.
Finding biological solutions to Phylloxera
This year 2020, we are launching the associative project : "Les Vieilles Branches" to satisfy our community as a whole.
Our aims are ultimately to:
- Safeguard and reproduce own-rooted vines,
- Have greater biodiversity,
- Decrease the treatments of fragile vines,
- Rediscover genuine wines.
For the benefit of Winemakers, Consumers, our Children and Mother Earth.
Research to return to own-rooted vines in harmony in their ecosystem
- Premature decline of vines,
- Increase in chemical treatments,
- Loss of biodiversity;
- Increased of chemistry in wines,
- Decrease in wine quality.

Joining us is participating to our experimental research to find ecological solutions against Phylloxera, so one day we will reach back to an "original" viticulture, by respect for our elders and as a duty for our descendants.
Our goal is to have once again centuries-old vineyards, in total harmony with their biosphere and biotope.
