Sustainable viticulture
for tomorrow
Nature is our greatest source of inspiration. Wine-growing is a subject that excites passion. Its situation in France and throughout the world is changing and evolving.
Here at Vranken-Pommery Monopole, we have already been working for several years to anticipate these changes.
Nature may well be beautiful and amazing, but it must also be accepted that taking this route will oblige mankind to make compromises. The wine-growing we are planning for tomorrow will have repercussions. These are simple: tomorrow’s wine-growing will mean spending more time in the vineyard. Vines that are less well protected on the one hand will require improved monitoring to ensure that we can react quickly when they are under attack.
Wherever we cultivate vines, our vision has changed.
The real challenge for Vranken-Pommery Monopole also lies in being an actor at the heart of research and development in the field. We have therefore joined forces with a sustainable engineering company to develop a natural fungicide that will enable us to protect our vines from certain particularly damaging diseases such as mildew, grey rot and odium. The University of Reims’ champagne wine and vine research laboratory has been working in vitro on the project since September 2016. The product will be applied for the first time in May 2017.
We also have a common project for all our vineyards: the Neptune project. An application has been created for better water management in our vineyards. It helps to avoid water waste in the face of global warming.
Adapt to changes
To protect our vineyards from global warming and to compensate for the lack of rainfall recorded each year, very important and heavy work has been undertaken to build an aqueduct.
The Domaine Royal de Jarras is renovating its winery with the creation of a new stainless steel vat house combining technology and modernity and allowing the perfect follow-up in the production of high quality wines. We are also installing a new production unit with a bottling line adapted to our vintages.
