Château Fourney
Bordeaux, France
The Vineyard of Château Fourney is planted on limestone and silicium soils. Since 1983, the producer has chosen to plant the vine with a density of 5500 feet per hectare. In 2 years, they changed their pruning method and worked with the world champion of vine pruning (Michel Duclos) in order to elaborate a new process. The goal of this method is to keep control and help the vine to develop natural health defense. In this way, less chemical treatment is used, and on the other side, we can see the development of several plant and insect varieties in the vineyard. Producer-only uses organic manures.
