Matthieu and Sylvanie Bouchet live in Montreuil-Bellay, the domain of Château Gaillard. In 1990, took over the family vineyard, while continuing the method practiced on the estate by François Bouchet, Matthieu's father: Bio-dynamie. This method does not use synthetic chemicals, but preparations based on plants, minerals and organic matter, which are energized and then pulverized, in order to stimulate the life of the soil and encourage the plant to draw on its resources as much as possible deep in the terroir. They fight against diseases if necessary with products such as powdered sulfur or Bordeaux mixture, reinforced with herbal teas (nettle willow or horsetail). The difficulty with this method is to find the balance between the needs of the plant and the quality of the harvest. They vinify in tuffeau cellars, the wines are aged for a minimum of 18 months, in old oak barrels, which gives additional work but allows the natural elements to act on the wines, without having to resort to chemistry or current technology, we work our wines in the greatest tradition. Cabernet Franc, Chenin and Grolleau are therefore vinified and bottled at the estate and marketed as "vin de France" which allows the authenticity of the terroir and the winegrower to express itself freely. The domain is entirely cultivated in Biodynamie, with Ecocert certification. They have the happiness of living at the rhythm of the seasons, in a preserved environment, surrounded by nature and animals, they make wines for the pleasure of those who taste them, in harmony with nature even if some years are less easy than others!
