BRUNO CLAIR 2020 MARSANNAY LES GRASSES TETES

Since the start of his career, Bruno has always enriched the vines with organic manure, which is indispensable for maintaining the natural cycle of soil microorganisms. Since the 1990s, he has also stopped spraying the weeds with chemicals. Although an excess of weedkillers can be harmful, it is clear that excessive ploughing can be too (gully erosion, exposed soil, carbon release, etc.). This is why we no longer plough the inter-rows, and we sow cover crops as much as possible in the autumn (legumes and cereals for the most part). This contributes much organic matter, it results in better water retention thanks to the pathways formed by the roots, and it protects the soil from erosion.
