Winery | Situated near the highest point of the appellation, the 25 hectares of vineyard extend over the limestone plateau and slopes, not far from the medieval city. The limestone plays a major role in regulating the vine's water supply, creating the moisture stress necessary to obtain high-quality grapes. The 35-year-old vines were trained using the double Guyot method and grafted onto American rootstocks. Manual leaf removal and green harvesting take place to retain only the best bunches of these high-quality grapes. Chateau Boutisse is certified High Environmental Value (HVE) Level 3 and emphasises the quality and biodiversity of its soils, which are tilled instead of chemical preparations. Oats and mustard are grown to produce green manure to eliminate the need for fertilisers, and grass cover crops are planted. The grapes are hand-harvested. |
