But first, of course, a meeting with Fred Lailler , Domaine Michel Bregeon...
Today we have a guest winemaker from France Fred. Fred suggested visiting winery so that we could (in a relaxed atmosphere) discuss the interview with him. I refused, because the road would be, although interesting, but distant ... And to whom , I ask, should I leave the Pokemon cat? But, in general, I liked Fred's suggestion, because it coincides in spirit with my thoughts.
Fred Lailler:
What do I believe in?
Revaluation of local producelocal produce, seeking out the authenticity of the wines and elaborating living wines. In order to succeed, it required: converting to organic agriculture to reconnect with the land, limiting the yields, fermenting with native yeasts, lengthening the maturation times and of course, practising manual harvesting. I needed the right place, to experience complete harmony and invite the region into my bottles. Then I found Le Domaine Michel Bregeon...
Convinced that wine is the alchemy between a winegrower and a region, I had to
find a way to put my own stamp on the domain. Therefore, it is quite natural that
Domaine Michel Bregeon is in the process of transitioning into organic agriculture.
This agricultural progress for both present and future wellbeing shares a link with
the past. The conversion to organic agriculture will extend to the totality of the
domain by 2019, with part of the conversion complete by the end of 2018.
