Chateau de Pravins

The saying goes, “to make a good wine, the work begins in the vineyard”. With this in mind, the farming practices at Château de Pravins are evolving towards an agriculture of living organisms, based on simple agronomic rules derived from agroecology. Under the direction of Isabelle Brossard as manager, Pravin, where winemaking dates all the way back to 1251, received its organic certification in 2013. The grapes are hand harvested and pressing happens immediately after harvest. Plant cover and agroforestry play an active role in maintaining living soil, as healthy soils are the foundation for quality winemaking. The addition of plant extracts throughout the year also creates the optimal conditions for producing the best organic grapes.
