The choice of conversion to organic from the 2019 vintage
The teams undertake the challenge of a restructuring of the vineyard, entirely grown in organic from 2019. They adopt practices based on the accuracy and precision of their gestures, both in the vineyard and in the chai. All these actions are consistent with respect for nature and the men and women who work it,
contributing to the quality of the terroir, which is found in the wines of Château Franc Mayne.
