MAISON JAUNE
Intuitively, Jean Claude Taddei's approach is inspired by Masanobu Fukuoka's "do-nothing" farming. It's not about doing nothing at all, but, as Fukuoka says, about asking oneself if it's necessary to do this or to do that. In other words, rather than doing, it's about asking what can be left undone.
From the outset, there's a rejection of as many inputs as possible, especially those from the chemical industry. Consequently, sulfur and copper (pending better options for the latter) are the only products used. Copper is generally used at one-third of the recommended dosage and adjusted based on the year's pressure.
Soil preservation. The vigor of the vines and a natural balance mean that the soil is never touched – no tilling, no scraping, no herbicides, no fertilizers. Only mowing is carried out.
There's the idea of measured non-interventionism, or rather, letting natural balances form as much as possible. Not correcting every imperfection, to leave a little room for nature. Human intervention in nature creates chaos. Minimizing interventions limits negative impacts.
