Winery | Chateau Gravillon is located in Saint Emilion on the Right Bank of Bordeaux. The vineyard is cultivated sustainably and holds the Level 3 Certificate for Haute Valeur Environmental (HVE). The HVE is a voluntary approach that aims to identify and promote environmentally friendly practices by farmers and winegrowers. It covers four areas: biodiversity conservation, plant protection strategy, management of fertiliser use and water management. In Château Gravillon’s vineyard, the rows between the vines have grass cover crops, which help to encourage biodiversity and reduce the need for herbicides. The soil is tilled, and copper is not used in the vineyard. The soils comprise sand, clay, and gravel; the high clay content dominates the Right Bank, known for its good water retention properties. It is cool and high in acidity. The gravel component encourages vines to penetrate the soils to find nutrients. The average age of the vines is 30 years, and they are planted at a high density of 6,000 vines per hectare. |
