Meeting of the Francs 2023 Domaine de Castel in Israel at Eli-Gilbert Ben-Zaken
Events
The Annual Meeting of the Francs de Pied took place at the beginning of 2023 at the Domaine du Castel
It is the holy grail of viticulture.
A label which certifies that the wines come from free-standing vines on the terroirs which saw the birth of these grape varieties.
A word from the president
Loic Pasquet,
owner of Domaine Liber Pater, President of the Association “Francs de Pied :
Heritage”
Our main
objective is to bring together all the producers who are cultivating ungrafted vines,
with native grape varieties in their place of origin. We will protect and pass
on a centuries-old know-how, while respecting biodiversity with the replanting
of old grape varieties in a balanced ecosystem. By saving these grape
varieties, it is the taste in its diversity and its authenticity that is
preserved.
The
Association also aims to create and manage the Francs de Pied brand to
distinguish and certify wines from the cultivation of ungrafted vines
and respecting
the know-how and the local ecosystem. This brand will allow the
supervision, the traceability, and the fair valuation of these wines.
The singularity of those wines, the nose and the finesse of the texture
in the mouth are all the elements that make those
wines unique and exceptional.
Finally, we
have the objective of registering the know-how and traditions linked to the
cultivation of ungrafted vines in the intangible cultural heritage of UNESCO.
We bring
together the Franc de Pied winegrowers but also their ambassadors, wine lovers.
It is with their support and their passion that our objectives will be
achievable.
