WINEMAISON ALBERT WINERYLike most of the vineyards we have shared with you, the vineyards of Maison Albert have adeep desire to create a truly organic wine. Only natural methods are used to cultivate thegrapes. For instance, wild plants are grown in an effort to maintain a rich biodiversity andbalance the structure of the soil. Each root generates different micro-organisms which allowthe vine to fully grasp the essence of the terroir. Pesticides, herbicides and other syntheticchemical fertilizers are prohibited. In addition, sheep roam the vineyard and are responsiblefor weeding and preparing the best organic manure. Their grazing also helps to aerate thesoil, thereby protecting it from fires.
