DOMAINE DE L’ECU 

Fred Niger

When modern oenology triumphs, we often tend to forget that great wine is conceived primarily in the vineyard: ploughing the soil, controlled yields, disbudding, duplication, manual harvesting and respect for the biotope.

Avant-gardist, the Domaine de l’Ecu is certified in organic agriculture since 1975 and biodynamic since 1998 (Demeter) on all of its 24 hectares. They are also certified Biodyvin since 2014.


The domain has renounced on all technological artifice in the cellar to break with the movement of standardisation of wines and preserve the link uniting each of the cuvées to a terroir and a vintage
