From Jeff’s UK Importer, Gergovie Wines:

“The farm has been certified organic since 1987. Disturbed by the monoculture of modern farming Jeff has planted thousands of trees amongst his vineyards transforming the 20 hectares of the farm to 13 planted with vines and the rest with olives, figs, almonds…The soils, varied but predominantly chalky- clay, are worked manually so as not to compress them too much.

The vineyards themselves are planted with many varieties ; Syrah, Grenache, Carignan, Cinsault, Mourvèdre, for the reds, Sauvignon blanc, grenache blanc et gris, carignan blanc, macabéo, muscat petits grains and Alexandrie for the whites”

Jeff has continued his pursuit of biodiversity in the face of neighbors who have burned his hedges and otherwise damaged his farm in opposition to his methods. He recently qualified for a government grant to install the pond in the above photo, and hopes to continue expanding his vision for peaceful biodiversity.
