La Vougeraie is about revealing the terroirs in excellence. A demanding philosophy expressed from the outset by the choice of organic viticulture: to find living soil, the essence of exalting wines. Very quickly, from 2001, biodynamic viticulture took its first steps, gently, in a more holistic vision.

Nature, the earth and its environment are at the heart of a living system, whose balance is the source of life. This deep conviction has led Anne-Claude Leflaive to connect the entire estate to biodynamic farming since 1996. This philosophy is also a demanding and pragmatic practice that promotes life and basic energy. It is not a method of fighting, for example, cryptogamic diseases, but it keeps parasites at an acceptable level. The health of the vines is strengthened. The wines themselves gain in balance, finesse and elegance. Brice de La Morandière, family manager since 2015, continues to develop the estate according to this philosophy and ethics.
