Not only is the whole estate certified organic by Ecocert, but in 2014 it was awarded the High Environmental Value (HVE) level 3 which is the highest level.
However, more than any level of certification, Famille Fabre want a deep connection with nature. ‘A vine that gives must also receive.’ To preserve the quality of the soil, tools are chosen with care and the grass is left to grow under all the vines, supplying the crops with a natural source of nitrogen. Diverse measures are taken to increase biodiversity, such as maintaining or planting hedges at the edge of the plots.
