chateau Haut-Goujon

Today more than ever, our roots in the terroir and respect for the environment seem fundamental. Considering wine as a living thing, and therefore avoiding the use of chemical inputs as much as possible, so that it expresses its personality and character, has led us to propose sulphite-free wines and to reduce the addition of sulphites in all of our production.

Aware that living organisms have a vibrational energy directly related to the quality of their environment, we have embraced a complementary approach at the property known as geobiology. The aim is to gain a better understanding of the influences of the surrounding environment on the characteristics of the vines and the wine. Certain natural geobiological phenomena may negatively influence plots or vats or, conversely, favour higher vibration levels.

In the same way as a human being, a wine with a high vibration level will be better able to develop its potential and to preserve it; a vine will be better able to defend itself against the various climate stress or threats of disease to which it is exposed.

This has led us to discover, use and experiment with actions on plots of vines, in the winery and storage areas, and finally on the wines themselves. We believe that this approach is complementary and necessary for us to be truly in harmony with the world around us, and to be able to offer exceptional, healthy wines.
