TERROIR
|
|
If
you plan to buy land to create a vineyard,
or just extend your existing vineyard,
we help you to make the best investment
and to benefit from your new land according
to your marketing strategy and your
project.
|
|
|
Your
dealings will be supported by our experience
which we have obtained in other vineyards
around the world. We will help you to
optimize your production, thanks to
an analysis of the “Terroir”,
based on precise observations, especially
by zoning soils and under soils and
fully understanding local climatic conditions.
|
|
Our
experience is coming from different
areas in the Northern Hemisphere where
we use to consult (Bordeaux, Cognac,
Morocco, California, Ontario, British
Columbia).

DEVELOPMENT
OF THE VINEYARD
|
Taking
the right decisions at the outset
when establishing a new vineyard is
critical:
|
- After planting,
a complete review of the natural
conditions and of the quality production
target will help to decide how to
prune and how to manage the canopy.
- The fundamentals
of the physiology of the vines will
be part of the guidelines.
- Each step
of this stage is critical. Decisions
are very important for the future.
