What are resistant grape varieties?<\/h1>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

A resistant grape variety is a variety of vine selected for its natural resistance to certain diseases, including:<\/p>

  • the mildiou<\/strong><\/p><\/li>

  • the o\u00efdium<\/strong><\/p><\/li><\/ul>

    These diseases are the ones that traditionally force winegrowers to treat their plots very regularly, even in organic farming (where the authorized inputs remain heavy and repetitive).<\/p>

    With resistant grape varieties, the idea is simple:
    – the vine defends itself,
    – much less treatment is required,
    – and we can work closer to nature.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

    Why do these grape varieties exist?<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
    \n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

    Resistant grape varieties are a response to the major challenges currently facing viticulture.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

    \n\t\t\t\t\t

    Reduce treatments<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
    \n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

    For many winegrowers, the goal is clear: to no longer depend on plant protection products, even those authorized for organic farming.
    These new varieties greatly reduce the number of mandatory treatments.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

    \n\t\t\t\t\t

    Better withstand climatic hazards<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
    \n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

    Wet springs, sudden rains, irregular summers…
    Resistant grape varieties are much less sensitive, which stabilizes production.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

    \n\t\t\t\t\t

    Adapting to climate change<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
    \n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

    They are among the most promising avenues for more resilient, sober, and sustainable viticulture.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

    What resistant grape varieties exist today?<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
    \n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

    There are already many resistant grape varieties in Europe. Among the most widely used, and those we work with, are: <\/p>

    • Flor\u00e9al<\/strong><\/p><\/li>

    • Artaban<\/strong><\/p><\/li>

    • Vidoc<\/strong><\/p><\/li>

    • Souvignier Gris<\/strong><\/p><\/li><\/ul>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

      The advantages of resistant grape varieties<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
      \n\t\t\t\t\t

      Far fewer treatments<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
      \n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

      The number of interventions is falling:
      Less copper, less sulfur, fewer tractor passes!<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

      \n\t\t\t\t\t

      Reduced production costs<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
      \n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

      Fewer interventions =
      \u2192 less time
      \u2192 less fuel
      \u2192 less equipment
      \u2192 less labor
      This is a significant advantage, especially for small organizations.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

      \n\t\t\t\t\t

      A gesture for biodiversity<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
      \n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

      Reducing treatments means preserving: soil, microfauna, insects, microbial life.<\/p>

      These varieties enable us to work according to a philosophy that respects life, without compromising on technical standards.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

      What does the future hold for resistant grape varieties?<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
      \n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

      Viticulture is evolving rapidly.
      These grape varieties offer a promising path forward, not to replace traditional varieties, but to open up a more ecological, sustainable, and resilient alternative.<\/p>

      They offer winegrowers a way to produce differently, with fewer inputs and greater environmental consistency.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

      At Pierre & Antonin, resistant grape varieties are part of our DNA.
      We have chosen to work exclusively with varieties such as Flor\u00e9al, Artaban, Vidoc, and Souvignier Gris, because they allow us to make wine in line with our convictions:
      less intervention, more respect for living things, and authentic vintages that truly express the fruit and the terroir.<\/p>

      All our wines are made from these resistant grape varieties. This is our way of showing that another kind of viticulture is possible, one that is more coherent and more joyful.<\/p>

      Whether you are a wine merchant, importer, restaurateur, or simply curious, our entire range is available in our online store!<\/strong>
      A wonderful opportunity to taste this new generation of natural and socially responsible wines.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
