The domaine: production methods

The first element of the « quality chain » on HAEGI Domaine is that the work of the vine focuses our full attention because without great grapes it is impossible to make a great Wine.

Therefore each of our parcels is worked with concern of the environment and all cultivation methods allowing to obtain an optimal quality are applied.  

• Plantation density : 4500 vinestocks/hectare
• Rootstock: 3309 et 161/49
• Soil maintenance :
            - turf one row out of two in order to reduce the vigor of the plants
            - plow the other row in order to favour a deep rooting of the vine
  
• Fertilizer : input of  organic matter every 4 to 8 years in the form of composted manure depending on the soil of each plot. Our motto is  « feed the soil so that the soil feeds the plant »
• Winter pruning : very short (6 to 9 eyes per cane) that optimizes the potential of the localities
  
• Summmer works : thinning-out, tying-up,  trellising , trimming , made with great care
  
• Green harvest : it consists in suppressing clusters, green harvests are not uncommon at the Domaine and allow us to get concentrated wines even if nature has been generous
