Our engagements
Making Nature our priority
Emilie & Charles, like their parents before them, put a lot of energy into the development of Biodiversity, soil life and the good health of their vineyard. Aware of benefiting from an exceptional Terroir, their primary mission is to preserve this environment and this great wealth of natural heritage. Since 2018, the Estate has been certified HVE (High Environmental Value) Level 3. In the vineyard, a permanent work of observation and analysis makes it possible to support the evolution of the vine and to provide optimum conditions for it to produce pretty berries without suffering. 
Charles grasses the vineyard with a mixture of selected seeds and no longer works up the soil, so as to let "Mother Nature" regain her rights. The Family also installs "refuges" for wildlife such as nesting boxes or clapas. Always with the aim of developing biodiversity. Thanks to these actions, a new ecosystem is set up in which each species has its place and each pest has its predator. The Domaine's objective: no longer intervening in its vines. 
Next objective for 2024: being on the way to conversion towards Organic Agriculture

VITI FORESTRY

Since 2021, Charles and Emilie have embarked on Viti forestry, a new way of protecting the vineyard from global warming.

Watering is not the solution to them, in a time marked by droughts and late episodes of frost, trees are the remedy.


Indeed, thanks to their root system, they can interact with the vine, create shade in the summer and bring new plant and animal species with them.

 With this still in mind, the hedges and forests around the vines are maintained to preserve flora and wildlife.


Bees at the Domain

After a training in beekeeping, Emilie creates in 2022 the first apiary of the Domaine des Conquêtes composed of a dozen or so colonies. Now with a passion for this pollinating insect and aware of its usefulness, Emilie wishes to preserve this species and hopes to eventually develop her apiary.
