The vineyard, a whole ecosystem

Ecosystem : a system made up of an environment (biotope or habitat) and by the group of species (biocoenosis) living, feeding and reproducing within it.

The vines are indissociable from the local landscape; they are part of the familiar surroundings of Bordeaux in general and around Libourne in particular. Our vineyards have managed to keep their brooks lined with wild flowers, their plant-filled ditches, their hedgerows and trees, their grassy borders and lanes. Erosion is thus kept to a minimum and shelter and food are provided for animals, maintaining a diversity of flora and fauna.
