Cultivation and environment
“The estate has implemented sustainable viticulture practices. The action was launched in 2009 by the Côtes de Thongue designation throughout a dozen “pilot” estates. Among these, Moulin de Lène started investigating the area in order to identify the species and agri-environmental elements present there. Since, the estate team has taken the necessary steps to improve the natural habitat of living species by planting hedges, trees and specific shrubs. Now, through the broadcasting of fair environmental management practices, it is possible to establish a much tighter link between the management of non-cultivated areas (streams, ditches, hedges, forest, scrubland, water bodies etc.) and vine cultivation “.
