Environment

Climate change threatens our water resource, our forest, the taste of our wine and in the end the comfort of our hospitality. But we act.

In particular:

• Our roof, walls and windows insulation reduce heating needs and avoid summer air cooling completely
• We have banned fossil fuels from all heating uses and rely mainly on heat pumps
• We only purchase green electricity certified form hydro, wind and solar sources
• In May 2009 we connected to the public grid our new photovoltaic barn roof, becoming thus a small producer of solar power
• We do the other smart environmental things: buying local food and goods, reduce & sorting the waste, avoiding harsh chemicals
• Drying our laundry in the sun and wind….
• We care especially for our extended Forest
• We have 140 hectare of forests, 40 hectare of meadows, vineyards and fields surround the farm as a shield of peace and beauty.

We owe them love and care..

•We have planted more then 3 000 trees of various hardwood species to enhance biodiversity and fix carbon dioxide.
•Our sustainable forest management is endorsed by the PEFC forest certification scheme and follows the natural processes advocated by the Pro Silva network of foresters.
•We harvest heating wood with caution; we are pioneers in Provence for reintroducing workhorses to pull out selected trees instead of the popular blank-cutting for easy tractors operations.
•We cultivate grapes and cereals with the minimum of risks for our biodiversity, our soils and water resources.
