The wines of Château de la Velle
Pioneers of sustainable vineyard practices since 1980, the estate does not use chemical fertilisers. These methods require great vigilance and careful work in the vineyard. To prevent soil erosion and preserve soil life, the estate uses ploughing, grass cover and thermal weed control.
