The Deux Ruisseaux Vineyard & Winery has a total surface area of 140 ha of which 120ha are planted with vines, with 35ha on the argilo-calcareous slopes and 85ha on the sandy alluvial plains. These two soils produce two different appellations :
White grapevines: 35 ha of Chardonnay and 20 ha of Sauvignon Red grapevines:
The average yield of the vineyard is 8 500 hl per year. All of our vines are grown on wires and there are 5000 vine-plants per ha in the plains and 6 200 on the slopes. The quality of our wines is achieved thanks to the vine-plants. In keeping with our keen spirit of quality, we combine technology and labor to cultivate the vineyard using reasoned viticulture methods to enable the grapes to reach peak maturity, assisted by the hot and dry Mediterranean climate. All viticultural operations: dressing, manuring, pruning, manual lifting, topping, labor and gyro-spinning are performed in keeping with our same spirit of quality. All the work on the vineyard is entered into a computer database in order to ensure the best management possible of the work. The company’s employees as well as the managers receive training each year allowing them to learn about the development of various techniques. We are also in contact with the Chamber of Agriculture and we make a special point of training young people in our company (BTS interns). |
