CATHERINE ET PIERRE BRETON

We implement our philosophy of organic and biodynamic culture in the vineyards of Bourgueil, chinon and Vouvray since 1990. We aim for balance of the soils and of the plants. We benefit from old vineyards, which we painstakingly protect. We replace the dead rootstocks, by massale selection. We treat organically, and only as much as the weather conditions of every vintage necessitate. Our picking is manual and at optimal maturity. Our vinification is exclusively made with indigenous and natural yeasts. Our wines are not filtered, and no sulfites are added during the fermentations; only minimal sulfur at bottling. The red wines contain less than 20 mg/l of SO2 total and the whites contain less than 50 mg/l.
