Mignon’s unique approach to viticulture, fondly referred to as the Mignon Method, combines natural practices including biodynamics, phytotherapy, homeopathy and geobiology. The moon is his guiding force for all actions in the vineyard and cellar.

This approach anables us regulate any disturbing influences. There are informed ceramic domes on water arrivals to allow water to re-energize. There are also copper wires throughout the building with 4 electric earth connectors installed to export bad informations. The last but not leas...
