Domaine de Bannières
" At Domaine de Bannières, we care for our vines and we protect
the ground to let our wines express the best tang of our soil. "


Close attention, attentive care,
very little copper addition, little sulphur addition and
wild flowers herbal teas:
all this helps our vines to defend themselves.

Natural green manure and crushed vine-shoots
are the only addition that help earth-worms and
micro-organisms to feed our stocks:
thanks to this, we only treat our vines
when necessary.

Ecocert France controls and certifies our grapes as
"in conversion to organic farming".

A quest for authenticity, a taste of genuiness
that we would like to share with you
with these 2003 vintages
"in conversion to organic farming"

Lundi 22 novembre 2004, première dégustation de la vendange 2004.
Agréable surprise en découvrant une très bonne matière dans tous nos échantillons.
Certes, tout n'est pas encore terminé, notamment les "malo", mais la première impression est très favorable :
beaucoup de fruit, bonne acidité, tanins prononcés mais déjà soyeux, belle couleur, rosé soutenu pour le rosé.
Cela laisse bien augurer de la suite... Il faut patienter un peu avant de présenter cette vendange à la dégustation !
Nous espérons être fin prêt pour le salon "MILLESIME BIO 2005" à Narbonne, les 17, 18 et 19 janvier 2005 .

A bientôt.
