Vine plots are traditionally weeded by hand. At Château Sainte Roseline, we have chosen to use the plant cover technique, whereby the soil is sown with grassy and leguminous plants that grow to form a natural protective carpet. This method:
• Maintains soil moisture (by limiting evaporation)
• Stimulates soil biological activity
• Fosters biodiversity
• Limits soil compaction
