Since the creation of the estate in 2004, the Rocheville vines have been managed without treatment and according to the principles of sustainable viticulture.
In 2011, with no probationary period, the estate obtained Terra Vitis certification, validating the eco-responsible approach “from the vine to the bottle” carried out up to that point.
From 2016, Domaine de Rocheville converted to Organic Farming and our wines have had the AB label since 2019.
In addition to the various tasks in the vineyard aimed at favouring the concentration of the grapes (short pruning, disbudding, leaf removal….), many actions are undertaken to make nature the winegrower’s ally.
Thus, the 17 hectares of vines are grassed over, and the biodiversity protected by replanting hedges and shrubs, planting 200 rose bushes at the end of the rows, installing Blue tit nesting boxes…
The grapes are hand-picked at optimum ripeness. With 30 hl/ha, the yield is low, so the grapes are more concentrated in flavours, a guarantee of a great vintage.
