René Muré - Clos Saint Landelin - Riesling - 2011 | French White Wine

In order to create a competition beetwen the roots, the new plantations are made at a high density (10 000 vineplants per hectare). This competition decreases the strength of the plant, the number of bunches per plant and the size of the bunches and bays. It obliges the roots to go down more deeply in the subsoil. This constitutes factors very favorable to the quality of the wine.
It’s in the deepest horizons of the soil that the vine draws the marks of the terroir. The soil is worked deeply (ploughing). There are no surface roots anymore. The young vines are tilled by hand and each surface root is cut. The chemical weedings were completely abandoned.
To develop the biological activity of the soils.
A good biological activity of the ground ensures a better mineralisation of the elements and thus a good assimilation by the root-system. The adequate cares, in particular the indications of biodynamy, ensure the development of the fauna and the flora of the ground. The "organic vinegrowing" certificate delivered by Ecocert proves that the estate does not use any chemicals products of synthesis, harmful to the micro-organisms of the soil, the quality of the ambient air and the purity of surface waters.
Alcoholic fermentation is done by natural yeast. At a low temperature, these yeasts work slowly and gently turn the juice into wine.
