Viticulture
Incorporates biodynamic methods: mobile chicken coop to clean vineyard and fertilize the soils, encourage biodiversity; development of vitiforestry; careful hand pruning according to the moon; no chemical fertilizers or insecticides, only natural organic products; indigenous grass and plants; grinds up vine cuttings in the parcels; extensive debudding, green harvest; attentive trellissing; essential oils to diminish the doses of copper/sulfur; braiding of the vines for energy exchange
Vinification

Champagne
Champagne boasts some of the world’s greatest luxury brands with Krug, Cristal and, of course, Dom Perignon. But it’s also home to hundreds of small dynamic producers—farmers who grow their own grapes (often organically) and make (often with natural methods) tiny amounts of pure and absolutely delicious wine that reflect the individual personalities of their villages and terroirs. Toast with these wines, for sure. But also treat them like the great wines they are: taste, drink, explore!
