If
biodynamics is an old practice, it is combined here with a constant
search for innovation.
For the Réaut family, the health of the soil is
the keystone of the quality of the wines.
The earth, living and dynamic,
plays a fundamental role in the quality of the raw material. Each plot
is observed, studied, and cared for with scientific precision.
Respect
for nature goes hand in hand with a detailed understanding of the vine
and the soil.
The old straddles used on the estate limit soil
compaction, ensuring that essential microbial life thrives.
Biodynamic
preparations, such as herbal teas and silica sprays, naturally
strengthen the vines' defences, thus preserving the purity and
authenticity of each grape.
The
Côte des Bar, with its Kimmeridgian subsoil and clay layers, is a real
book of geological history.
The limestone veins, witnesses of ancient
times, nourish the vines and bring to each cuvée an unequalled
minerality and freshness. It is here, in these lands shaped by
millennia, that the roots plunge, drawing their strength from a soil
revitalized by respectful and innovative practices.
Biodynamics, for the
Réaut, is not only a method of cultivation, it is also a philosophy.
In the manner of great natural thinkers such as Jean-Jacques Rousseau or
Henry David Thoreau, Alain Réaut embraced this holistic approach,
respecting the natural rhythms of the earth and the cosmos.
Every
care given to the vine is thought out according to the lunar cycles,
when possible, thus strengthening the plants' natural defences.
The
compost, the estate's true "Black Gold", is rigorously prepared from
horse manure, cattle manure, hemp dust and basalt enriched with
biodynamic preparations based on nettle, chamomile, dandelion, oak bark,
yarrow and valerian. This carefully concocted blend nourishes the soil
and sustains the life of this ancestral land.
The
art of winemaking, for the Réaut, is a quest for precision.
Every
step, from pressing to blending, is carried out with meticulous
attention, like a composer conducting a symphony.
The juices are tasted
regularly, each decision is guided by experience and intuition, allowing
to create cuvées that fully express the potential of the grapes.
In the
continuity of tradition and innovation, each cuvée is dosed sparingly,
allowing all the aromatic complexity and natural purity of the wines to
express themselves.
This work of olfactory, visual and gustatory memory
makes it possible to create champagnes of incomparable finesse and
elegance.
We
are certified Ecocert for the Organic Agriculture part and Demeter for
the biodynamic agriculture part of the grapes.
To have a quality raw
material, an essential pillar for the continuation of the winemaker's
work in the same dynamic.
