Biodynamics is an agricultural approach that views the farm as a self-sustaining ecosystem, interacting with the natural forces around it.<\/p>\n
It is based on the principles set out by Rudolf Steiner<\/strong> in the early 20th century and aims to promote the health of soil, plants and animals<\/strong> using holistic farming methods. It has been making inroads into winegrowing for several\ndecades now, meeting a growing need among consumers looking for organic and natural\nwines.<\/p>\n The key characteristics of biodynamic agriculture are :<\/strong> Domaine Mia's 18 hectares of vines have been cultivated exclusively organically and biodynamically since 2023. It's a long-term approach that combines tried-and-tested\nprocesses with others undergoing experimentation, to achieve greater harmony between man and nature.<\/strong><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" La biodynamie est une approche agricole qui consid\u00e8re l’exploitation agricole comme un \u00e9cosyst\u00e8me autonome, interagissant avec les forces naturelles environnantes.

\n\u2022 The use of specific preparations: Biodynamic winegrowers use special preparations, often based on plants, minerals or organic elements, which are applied to the soil and crops to enhance the health and vitality of the plants.
\n\u2022 Preserving biodiversity: Biodynamics promotes the preservation of biodiversity by encouraging the planting of hedges, the creation of buffer zones and the protection of natural habitats.
\n\u2022 Waste reduction: Biodynamic winegrowers seek to minimise waste and use sustainable methods for composting and resource recovery.
\n\u2022 The absence of GMOs and synthetic chemicals: Biodynamics prohibits the use of genetically modified organisms (GMOs) and synthetic chemicals, favouring instead organic and natural farming methods.
\n\u2022 The lunar and planetary calendar: Biodynamic viticulture uses the lunar and planetary cycles to plan its agricultural activities. Biodynamic winegrowers consult these calendars to determine the best times for sowing, planting, harvesting and\nother agricultural tasks.<\/p>\n
