LES VIGNOBLES FONCALIEU
LES VIGNOBLES FONCALIEU
Since 2007, we have been committed to sustainable development with one goal: to ensure the quality of the product, respect for the terroir and the development of new know-how, all while maintaining mutually beneficial relations with the territory.
We seek to preserve the vineyard by supporting our members in the approach to their practices and the implementation of sustainable viticulture practices, including the protection of biodiversity, drip irrigation, the installation of grass strips, etc.
The method used to combat grape worms by mating disruption is an example of the strength of Foncalieu’s commitment to environmentally friendly cultivation. This method has helped to end treatments against grape worms across 1,100 hectares of vines, which is 25% of the disrupted vine.
At the same time, we are continuing our efforts to move a part of our vineyards to organic production: 31 hectares are AB certified to date and 128 hectares are being converted in 2018.
This approach is being followed by our wine-growing members and at the headquarters of Vignobles Foncalieu. Measures include sorting and recycling waste, renewable energy promoted with the installation of photovoltaic panels on the Foncalieu site, reduction of water use, improvement of working conditions in the cellars, etc.
This primarily human dynamic moves towards responsible development and territorial commitment while encouraging sharing and solidarity.
