Domaine Jeandeau
 

*** Cuvée Prestige 1999

Bouquet of dried fruit ;
freshness in the mouth, and a silky texture.
The discreet aroma of  hazelnuts
is noticed.

No,  its  not a photo  from  the archives,  but a score from  real life that can be seen  in one of our  vineyards.
A great  curiosity to both  young and old  while, obeying
the voice  with grace and  accuracy the horse, placed on 
the   front  row ,  adjusts  his  efforts   according   to  the
hardness of the soil...
    Wine-growers  are  slowly  coming  ro realise that the constant use  of  tractors, and  others heavy machinery,
compress  the  soil,  leaving  it  hard,  impermeable  and choking the roofs near to the surface.
    In addition, the use of chemical  weedkiller,  fertilizer 
after  carried  in  the  stream,  constitutes  methods  far removed from the "terroir" rich values.
    Denis Jeandeau  thought  that it was time to go  back
to traditional values, using an ecological approach. 
50 hours  a year,  per hectare  worked on  by horses are necessary to give the soil back its breath and suppleness.
