This allows us to avoid using chemical weeding. It is a good alternative to herbicides (glyphosate), which we have completely banned.<\/p>\n<p>In the autumn, just once a year, we decompact the soils to encourage deeper roots for the vines. This involves tilling the soils to a depth of 35 to 50 cm (in a wave shape) by cutting surface rootlets, avoiding mixing the surface layer of soil to preserve organic matter. The aim is to force the vine to draw up water from a deeper level, offering effective protection against periods of drought.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"image100 alignnone wp-image-6082 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.chateau-brown.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2018\/09\/terroir-ecoute-choye.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1800\" height=\"1019\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.chateau-brown.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2018\/09\/terroir-ecoute-choye.jpeg 1800w, https:\/\/www.chateau-brown.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2018\/09\/terroir-ecoute-choye-382x216.jpeg 382w, https:\/\/www.chateau-brown.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2018\/09\/terroir-ecoute-choye-1024x580.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/www.chateau-brown.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2018\/09\/terroir-ecoute-choye-768x435.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.chateau-brown.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2018\/09\/terroir-ecoute-choye-1536x870.jpeg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1800px) 100vw, 1800px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sustainable tilling and use of machine weeding Particular attention is paid to soil care.
