TheDemeter certification is an international standard for biodynamic agriculture. It goes beyond the requirements of traditional organic farming by integrating practices based on the teachings of Rudolf Steiner, as with the Biodyvin label. For Saint-Émilion wines, this certification is a guarantee of quality and commitment to sustainable agricultural practices.
Demeter-certified vineyards follow rigorous biodynamic practices. These include :
These methods aim to create a balanced ecosystem and promote the natural health of the vines.
The biodynamic practices encouraged by Demeter certification promote biodiversity. Natural habitats are preserved, beneficial insects are encouraged, and vineyards become true ecosystems where life thrives.
Certification promotes the responsible use of natural resources. Careful water management, soil conservation and the use of organic fertilizers help preserve the quality of wine-growing land for future generations.
Winegrowers who choose this certification have the opportunity to become guardians of the environment. By adopting respectful agricultural practices, they are helping to build a sustainable ecosystem that fits in perfectly with the environmental approach of Saint-Émilion wines.
Obtaining the Demeter label is not without its challenges. Winegrowers must commit to rigorous, sometimes esoteric practices, which can require extra time and resources. However, many see these constraints as a long-term investment in quality.
