Sponsorship: support a historical monument, biodiversity and Arnould and Isabelle’s quest for excellence.
e s s a g e r o A r n o u l d
Dear friends,
Making excellent organic wine, promoting biodiversity, offsetting our carbon footprint, are challenges that are as complex as they are exciting, economically difficult but bringing tremendous satisfaction, saving future lives and protecting nature. So I invite you to share with Isabelle and me our new burgundian life project by adopting some vine plants. These plants, all of massal origin, i.e. not cloned, will be planted on exceptional plots of land of the Château de Viviers, whose wine was once served at Versailles, cultivated organically and biodynamically, favouring the diversity of fauna and flora with nesting boxes, hedges, trees, grassing, …
Each plant or row will bear a zinc plate with your name and a symbolic date (marriage, birth, …) during the whole life of the plant. Unfortunately, you will not receive wine over such a long period of time, but it is up to you to become “Good Friends of Viviers” and to take advantage of the wine allocations and discounts that will be associated with it.
Arnould Lefébure.
