Michelle and Laurent Bénard-Pitois, who are third generation of wine farmers, considered organic farming already in the 1990's and carried out the first tests followed by ECOCERT (international certification) on one hectare of land in 1995. In 2009 the conversion took off and has reached 2.5 hectares cultivated according to the AB specifications today. Moreover, since 2012, the work with the wine has obtained organic certification. The future generations Bénard will follow the choice and, in turn, live and work respecting this inheritance. They use traditional plowing, which allows the vines to root as deep as possible to find nutrients. There are no added sulphites and the wines are matured in oak barrels. (from the importer)
