A magnificent terroir
Un magnifique Terroir
The term “lande” comes from Celtic “landa”: uncultivated, poor land where broom and heather grow. This difficult land is favorable for the vines which will produce few grapes but of high quality.
The difficulty is to respect this natural finess as much as possible during the vinification period by working the delicate tannins of grapes smoothness. This environmentally friendly production approach is just to thank the potential of our unique terroir.
This is why we are committed to environmental initiatives such as the ISO 14001 standard within the environmental management system, HVE3 standard and also organic conversion started in 2019.

Organic conversion
Since the 2019, our vineyard is in organic conversion with the certifying organization Ecocert. This conversion to organic farming is an operation that takes time, energy and requires will !

The conversion begins when the winemaker notifies his activity to a certifying organization and rigorously respects the principles of the European specifications for organic producing.
