Laroque D`Antan winery
These agricultural landscapes of Laroque D'Antan are among the most beautiful in the world. It has marked us, inspired by their poetry, by this alliance between the tenacity of the vines and that of the men who cultivate them. Already in the 19th century Guyot said ' Cracked or cracked rock exists immediately and at an indefinite depth under the weak layer of cultivable soil, but the vines can throw their roots deep into the beds and joints of these rocks, derive vigor from them. of considerable trunk and an almost unlimited duration . Be that as it may, I have never seen vineyards more picturesque, more regular and better kept than those of the Lot '. After the soil analyzes, we delimited the zones for the white grape varieties and those for the reds. We wanted to put the forgotten grape varieties of this region of the South West in the spotlight. We chose Rupestris du Lot as rootstock, which was used a lot in the past. Tillage becomes an essential act to maintain the biology, the biodiversity which will allow the roots to plunge into the interstices of the limestone rock. The rock solubilized by soil microbes will thus give minerality and complexity to the wine.
