Marked during his childhood by Château Bourdieu, which he saw every week on his way to boarding school, Luc Schweitzer, who became a winegrower in the wake of his parents, decided to acquire the property in 1993. The seasoned winegrower then noticed the quality of its clay-limestone terroirs and its exposure.
Very quickly, he took measures to match his ambitions by undertaking work. While he is carrying out his first harvest, he has a new cellar with an area of 1200m2 built in parallel; because, as Luc Schweitzer explains, having an evolved and cutting-edge production tool is necessary in order to be able to best achieve its objectives.
The Schweitzer family has chosen to run their vineyards in sustainable agriculture, out of consideration for the environment, the consumer and the teams working on site.
To this end, meticulous and daily care is carried out on the vines: inter-row and inter-vine plowing techniques, disbudding, de-stemming, leaf stripping and thinning punctuate the management of the vineyard.
In addition, CMR-type products (carcinogenic, mutagenic, reprotoxic) are replaced by more natural products such as pulverized clay to fight against botrytis, or the use of a pheromone-based device as an alternative to insecticides. .
