Vineyards

Come and watch the winegrower proud of his work. Concerned about the environment, the consumer and the sustainability of his activity, he aims to produce high quality grapes in his vineyards. Traceability and a Charta for sustainable agriculture are its guidelines.

Domaine de l’Arjolle: vineyards

Come and see the skilfully planted straight lines of the vineyards. There almost perfect geometry facilitates mechanical interventions, but last not least with concern for each plant.

Come to admire the diversity of our flora and fauna, preserved by respectful work. We definitely care about biodiversity and the purity of our waters.

Come and smell the freshly ploughed earth or the lately cut grass. We adapt the work in our vineyards to soil types and the climate of each vintage. Herbicides have been banned for long time from our vineyards and are replaced by mechanical or even handicraft for the most delicate work, avoiding heavy machinery and non-renewable fuel.

Come and smell the fresh and delicate fragrance of vine blossoms. It’s a crucial period of the growing season, closely supervised by the winzer: the first parasites and diseases might affect the vines, and he has to decide whether he intervenes or not. Produce healthy grapes and protect the environment with a minimum of interventions – that’s what we try to achieve at the Domaine de l’Arjolle for decades.

Come and taste the diversity of our grape varieties: the locals (Grenache and Syrah), the exotics (Zinfandel and Carmenere), and those that originate from other wine regions in France (Chardonnay Sauvignon, Viognier, Muscat, Cabernet and Merlot). It’s this diversity in our vineyards – soils, climate and grape varieties – that makes our work so interesting and joyful. In more than 60 vineyards we take care for a balance between all these components.
