CHOICE,INVOLVEMENT,GUARANTEES

Today, we can choose the future of the earth. Brunoand Catherine Michel choose the path of organic viticulture. It is a respectful engagement with the earth, which absolutely banishes the use of fertilizers, herbicides and chemical pesticides. By choosing to respect nature, and to cultivate the vineyards in ccordance with the organic ethic, Bruno Michel guarantees you wines of unquestioned quality. Wines produced from organic viticulture are a full-fledged creation, which justifies times for work and times to step back. In Champagne, like everywhere else, it all starts with the earth, the raw material,which is given the greatest care. Then comes the labor in the vineyard, with all the attention and caution it deserves. The blending and vinification require the highest respect and precision. Finally the ageing in bottles confers nobility. Each one of us is then able to fully appreciate them by taking our time to savor them.

 TERROIR, ABOR, ENJOYMENT It is sometimes said “ good Champagnes, beautiful terroir”. For Bruno Michel, the equation is incomplete. If his terroir is beautiful, then he must respect it and work it, with all the consideration it deserves. His Champagne, then, takes on its third dimension: pure pleasure. Bruno Michel’s involvement with organic viticulture is a lasting one. He applied as an organic farmer to the DDAF (Direction Départementale de l’Agriculture et de la Forêt), according to European regulation CEE 2092/91 of June, 24 1991 regarding the rules of production in organic farming. By implementing those, he committed himself to farm his vineyards without chemical fertilizers or pesticides. Because of that, he is allowed to classify his products “wine from organic grapes”.Bruno Michel is certified by ECOCERT and is allowed to apply the label Agriculture Biologique (AB), subject to a mandatory annual control. Additionally unexpected spot- ecks can occur.
