As the saying goes, small is beautiful. There are many reasons for that. It makes it easier when it comes to making decisions on the appellation level. There are only about fifteen representatives around the table during official meetings. We were, for example, the first to use sexual confusion in the vineyard throughout the appellation, also to limit the treatment needed to combat the problem of vine disease known as flavescence dorée to just the areas affected by it. The same goes for using GEA technology for the treatment of waste water. I recognize that scale of size can have an effect on notoriety, so we are not as well known as some other appellations nearby, but I like to believe that the consistency of quality in our Saint-Julien wines will prevail in the long term!
