He started by working vines planted on sandy and gravelly soils, soon expanding the estate to include hillside vineyards on clay-limestone soils.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe domaine also boasts old vines propagated through massal selection, producing elegant wines of remarkable depth, with excellent ageing potential.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eToday, the estate covers 7 hectares, devoted entirely to one grape variety: Cabernet Franc.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe domaine has been organically farmed from the outset. While a few plots were converted to organic farming, most were already cultivated organically when Stéphane took over.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe soils are worked mechanically, natural ground cover is encouraged, and much of the vineyard work is carried out by hand.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBiodynamic practices are also incorporated throughout the seasons, although the estate is not officially certified. Above all, Stéphane's approach is rooted in common sense and traditional, time-honoured farming methods.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Cave du Palais, 64000 Pau","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57730065957190,"sku":null,"price":11.3,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0509\/9605\/2139\/files\/delettre-cidre-nature-les-comperes-75cl-normandie-france.jpg?v=1793209140","url":"https:\/\/cavedupalais.shop\/en\/products\/delettre-cidre-nature-les-comperes-75cl-normandie-france","provider":"Cave du Palais","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
