For the past 15 years, we have been working 40 hectares organically, but it wasn\u2019t until 2020 that we made the transition to convert the entire vineyard. We received certification starting with the 2023 harvest. A long process of vineyard maintenance and restructuring helped facilitate this transition.<\/p>\n<p>Our major daily challenge is related to the size of the area we manage and the topography of the land. Some plots are impacted by the age of the vines (very low yields, high mortality rates, etc.), as well as the challenges posed by the hillside cultivation (stones, steep slopes, erosion&#8230;), making the work on each plot quite difficult. The key challenges are preserving our soils and the potential of our old vines by minimizing erosion as much as possible, and maintaining biodiversity across the entire estate.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-8bbe83f\" data-id=\"8bbe83f\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-8efcfb3 elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"8efcfb3\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer-inner\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-008e787 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"008e787\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figure class=\"wp-caption\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"675\" height=\"844\" src=\"https:\/\/www.pierre-amadieu.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/vignoble-gigondas-vigne-pierre-amadieu.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-15316\" alt=\"vignoble gigondas vigne pierre amadieu\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.pierre-amadieu.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/vignoble-gigondas-vigne-pierre-amadieu.jpg 675w, https:\/\/www.pierre-amadieu.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/vignoble-gigondas-vigne-pierre-amadieu-240x300.jpg 240w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 675px) 100vw, 675px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figcaption class=\"widget-image-caption wp-caption-text\">Soil management and biodiversity: major challenges for our Gigondas vineyard<\/figcaption>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-1ac5868 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"1ac5868\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-wider\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-5f8860f\" data-id=\"5f8860f\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7f900dd elementor-widget elementor-widget-menu-anchor\" data-id=\"7f900dd\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"menu-anchor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-menu-anchor\" id=\"JG3\"><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a70a93b elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"a70a93b\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer-inner\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-0ecb184 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"0ecb184\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">What does daily vineyard maintenance involve?<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-aaf0093 elementor-widget__width-initial elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"aaf0093\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>In the <strong>autumn<\/strong>, after the harvest, we work the soil to encourage wild ground-covering plants and to <strong>increase soil porosity, water infiltration, and aeration<\/strong>.
