THE VINeYARD
Natural wines, Man and Earth
In the heart of the Côtes de Bourg, the Château Les Graves de Viaud covers 15 hectares on a south-facing slope composed of vines, meadows and woods. It is in this beautiful environment that are implanted 11.5 ha of vines on soils of clayey gravel. It is here that in 2010 after rich professional careers that we settled. Château Les Graves de Viaud is committed to a viticulture respectful of the environment and life in general. Beyond our organic and biodynamic approach, we opt for a respectful agriculture of the soils (conservation agriculture) and of the animal life (suppression of any animal manure). We are engaged in a large agroforestry program.
Our wines are vinified as naturally as possible without any oenological input without animal product, always in search of innovation for a journey of the senses and the spirit.

Nature drives our pratctices
Agriculture
Since 2010, we have been practicing organic and biodynamic farming.
We use Bordeaux mixture, herbal preparations and yeast and bacterial fermentations to fight against diseases.
We fertilize our soils with plant seedlings and biodynamic preparations.
Plowing is totally prohibited, as are animal compost generally produced by industrial farms.
Agroforestery is the next step, we are engaged in a vast program of replanting trees in our vines plots.

Vinification
The harvest is done mechanically or manually depending on the type of wine sought.
The mechanical harvest allows us to harvest in the cool very early in the morning to have fresh grapes without resorting to heat treatment.
Our Demeter specifications impose winemaking without input, only sulfur is authorized. Natural fermentation takes place with indigenous yeasts.
We favor deep and soft extractions, either by punching down, or by load shedding. The vatting is long at least 25/35 days.

Aging
It is the aging that gives style to the wines.
Our fruit wines are aged in vats or in clay and terracotta amphorae with weekly lees stirring for 1 year.
The other vintages are matured in barrels, the choice of barrels, their size and age depends on the type of wine desired, and the maturity of the vintage, with respect for the wine.
