A label which certifies that the wines come from free-standing vines on the terroirs which saw the birth of these grape varieties.
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 a label certifying wines from the
cultivation of ungrafted vines and respecting the know-how and the local
ecosystem. This label 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.
