All growers practice reasoned (or even organic) viticulture as part of the strict sustainable practices laid down by the Vignerons en Développement Durable (VDD), which Cave de Tain have followed since 2007. Vine health is paramount with practices such as 'épillonnage' (removing secondary shoots to aerate the grapes, increasing the vines' resistance to humidity without the use of treatments) regularly monitored in each plot. All vineyards are within 15km of the cellar, meaning the grape harvest is delivered quickly and in prime condition, negating the need to add sulphur. In the winery (which benefitted from considerable investment in 2014) hygiene control measures are impeccable, another key factor in making a wine ‘sans sulfites’.
