GRASS IN THE VINEYARDS
Gaston Chiquet practice 'grassing' in 20-40% of their vineyards, dependent on the time of year. This is a sustainable and eco-friendly solution to the issue of soil erosion and the development of unwanted vegetation that typically leads to chemical weeding. With grass in between the vines, the runoff and erosion hugely decreases, the vines become less sensitive to pests and the landscape in enhanced with fully controlled yields.
To take this practice on, the House has had to adapt their equipment and now use straddle tractors with grass mowers and 'smart' plows that can go under the rows of vines.
