With Justin Martindale MW
Friday May 3 2024 6:00 pm CEST

Summary:

We were delighted to be joined by Isabel Gassier, viticulturalist at Domaine Gassier in France's Costières de Nîmes, to discuss their conversion to Regenerative Viticulture. In November 2023, the estate became France's first regeneratively certified producer, and in this interview Isabel discusses the motivation and journey behind this move, as well as the practicalities and 'on-the-ground' challenges in utilising this farming method in Costières de Nîmes. 

You can find out more about this wonderful estate on their site here

This interview complements a Tasting Room video by Justin on Regenerative Viticulture where he tastes this wine and some others farming regeneratively - if you'd like to watch that, you can find it here
