Vineyards

Concerned about the economic realities, Domaine de l’Arjolle strives to produce quality grapes while respecting the environment and the consumer. 

For this reason, the traceability and the charter of sustainable agriculture underpin our professional life projects.

The Terra Vitis approach enables winemakers to strive for the preservation of landscapes and life in the vineyards. Recognized by the Ministry of Agriculture, this certification attests to a sustainable agriculture that involves controlled practices, therefore being a proof of a total transparency towards the consumer.

Come and observe the rigorous lines and perfect geometry of the vineyards, allowing an easy automation without neglecting the special attention that is given to each vine trunk.

Come and discover the richness of our flora and fauna, preserved by the non extensive agriculture that respects the cleanliness of the rivers and the environmental richness. 

Come and enjoy the smell of freshly ploughed soil and cut grass; the soil cultivation on the surface (grass mowing) as well as in depth (ploughing) is adapted to each type of soil and to climatic conditions. Weedkillers are forbidden in favour of the inter-vine plowing and the manual plowing, thus ensuring a fine work that does not require the use of heavy equipment or a non-renewable fuel … 

Come and smell the vine flowers with their subtle and tenacious aromas during a delicate period of the bunch formation. The flowering season is also a period of all attention because of the vine’s fight against diseases. Observation, count, and the environmental pressure are the only conditions for constructing a unique treatment schedule. Our priority is to reason with such interventions and not make them systematic in order to protect the environment while producing a healthy grape protected from all parasites. These have been the permanent concerns of the associates of Domaine de l’Arjolle for decades. 

Come and taste the diversity of our grapes. We have many varieties starting from the most traditional grapes (Grenache, Syrah) including those from other French wine regions (Chardonnay, Sauvignon, Viognier, Muscat, Cabernet, Merlot) and finishing with the most exotic ones (Zinfandel, Carménère).
