Have you heard of magnetoculture?
More than 120 magnets are installed on our vats, barrels, water inlets and pumps.
In the vineyard, magnetoculture helps us limit plant-protection products; in the cellar, it helps us reduce sulphites.
Original, isn’t it?
Why are we not like everyone else?
Eleven generations have never stopped us experimenting, observing and staying curious.

Already 50 fig trees among our vines
In spring 2022, we planted 50 fig trees in a Carignan parcel to increase biodiversity and shelter fauna useful to the vines.
Their branches, fruit and leaves enrich the soil, while their roots can cooperate with vine roots through mycorrhizae.

Our kilometres of irises
In spring, hundreds of irises line the edges of our parcels.
They mark a living landscape beneath Pic Saint-Loup.

A vineyard over a Visigoth cemetery
A Syrah parcel grows over a Visigoth cemetery discovered by Roger and René Ratier around sixty years ago.
The site’s story lives on in our signature cuvée, Le Sang du Wisigoth.
