The Domaine Guy Farge vineyard now has 22 hectares of vines that are rarely exposed to drought. The hillsides are made of granite, the soils are very filtering: cultivation is done on terraces, supported by dry stone walls.
The estate is made up of terraced, steep and sloping plots, the work in the vineyard is exclusively manual, from pruning to harvesting. Difficult and demanding, you have to arm yourself with courage and patience to care for each vine planted on the 22 hectares (around 6000 vines/ha) before being rewarded with the quality of the terroir wines!
In the constant concern for environmentally friendly work, the methods of sustainable agriculture adopted (minimal use of treatment products) have naturally given pride of place to the horse; which passes through the rows of vines of certain plots to turn over the earth, and thus weed and aerate the soil.
Respect for the fruits picked when ripe justifies the installation of the unloading of trailers at mid-level of the fermentation tanks (gravity work) and the use of a pneumatic press.
For quality wines, more or less fruity, tannic and structured, aging is done in 400-liter 3-wine oak barrels, between 6 and 14 months depending on the vintage.
