NOUVELLES JURA
DE BOISSET
WINTER 2020-2021

Les Grandes Parcelles:

The finest terroir on the estate!

For the past five years, a vast vineyard enhancement program
has been in progress. The least interesting vines have been pulled
out, while new plantations and plot selections have been made in
order to optimize the grape varieties. The estate has also plowed
significant investment into more efficient equipment adapted to its
quality requirements.
Flowering fallow and bee hives
For the first time this year, fallow land has been left to flower, allowing
it to rest for up to four years before planting new vines. These bee-
friendly flowers will result in beautifully colorful meadows just below
the hives in the Sorbief vineyard.

Sheep manure in the vines
A partnership has been struck with a local sheep farmer to supply
us with organic matter to enrich the vines.
