The clay-limestone soil is perfect for vine growing due to its composition and unique properties: low in nutrients, the ability to retain water thanks to the limestone, and stability in the face of temperature changes. <br>The grape varieties at Ch\u00e2teau Soutard are quite representative of Saint-\u00c9milion, with a dominance of Merlot and a significant presence of Cabernet Franc.

The soil is worked mechanically, meaning no chemical weeding is required. This is achieved using a combination of tools such as the plow, under-vine blades, discs, and spades, which are adapted and used according to the different types of soil. The spaces between rows are grass-covered to limit soil compaction. <br>For the green work, the same team of seasonal workers returns each year, ensuring continuity in the various tasks with consistent know-how. The phytosanitary approach is reasoned in the choice of treatments, with a preference for organic and biocontrol methods. Dosages are adjusted based on the amount of foliage, with particular attention paid to the quality of spraying. The fertilization strategy is also reasoned, based on leaf observation, soil analysis, and the creation of soil pits. The goal is to assess the vigor of the vines, detect deficiencies, and define the needs for organic matter and minerals. The inputs consist mainly of compost.         <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f96a1a4 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"f96a1a4\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1536\" src=\"https:\/\/chateau-soutard.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/pratiques-culturales-soutard-2.webp\" class=\"attachment-full size-full wp-image-9575\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/chateau-soutard.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/pratiques-culturales-soutard-2.webp 1024w, https:\/\/chateau-soutard.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/pratiques-culturales-soutard-2-600x900.webp 600w, https:\/\/chateau-soutard.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/pratiques-culturales-soutard-2-200x300.webp 200w, https:\/\/chateau-soutard.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/pratiques-culturales-soutard-2-683x1024.webp 683w, https:\/\/chateau-soutard.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/pratiques-culturales-soutard-2-768x1152.webp 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-bfcda5e e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"bfcda5e\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-76adff3 title-thing-two elementor-widget__width-initial elementor-widget-tablet__width-inherit elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"76adff3\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">BIODIVERSITY<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-15734db elementor-widget__width-initial elementor-widget-tablet__width-inherit elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"15734db\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Each cultivation operation is carefully considered in terms of its environmental impact.

and worked for two years in aquaculture. <br>However, his connection to the land eventually proved stronger than his connection to water. At the time, he began to develop a passion for viticulture, with the goal of one day owning his own vineyard. To gain the necessary training, he pursued a degree in agricultural engineering along with a national diploma in oenology. <br>He started his career in viticulture at Ch\u00e2teau Cheval Blanc, where he stayed for two years. He then held positions as a viticultural consultant and took on responsibilities at various ch\u00e2teaux in Bordeaux. <br>In 2013, he joined Ch\u00e2teau Soutard and has been serving as the Technical Director of Vineyards ever since.   <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-e455662 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"e455662\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-147f5b8 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"147f5b8\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Philosophy :<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-fe7a85e elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"fe7a85e\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>The human dimension and teamwork are of great importance to me.
