May 21, 2021
Rosi\u00e8res, Ard\u00e8che

At the end of May, we visited Les 7 Pierres<\/a> vigneron, Fran\u00e7ois Tissot, at his property Mas Heritage, where he has been working in the Ard\u00e8che region since 2013, in the commune of Rosi\u00e8res.

On the program, a tour of his parcels and specifically, an exchange on his viticultural choices and the wines he seeks to produce. The Mas Heritage 2018 red wine has just been released, the first vintage made from 100% of the 7 Pierres vineyards! Obviously his pride and joy, and above all what a journey since the beginning of this adventure at Mas Heritage!

The Mas Heritage property was a happy discovery for him, a bit of a coincidence as he explains. After 10 years of managing Chateau Paradis in the Coteaux d’Aix en Provence and dreaming of setting up his own estate, he found the ideal site in the Ard\u00e8che – his new piece of paradise.

Today he is realizing his dream, after having done the titanic work to renovate the 19th century buildings and replant the teraraced-vineyards, previously abandoned and colonized by the pine forest.

Here, no large parcel, but rather a myriad of terraces – he has 18 terraces currently planted on the 3 ha around the property!\u00a0

The largest are 25 ares and the smallest … a few rows.

Let’s take the time to go with him to see the vineyards … on video!<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

In the following report, we have added a few videos featuring Fran\u00e7ois talking about his viticultural philosophies, and this place that he continually discovers vintage after vintage.<\/p>

We can divide this series in several points:<\/p>

– The sandy nature of the estate’s soils and what this implies for the vines
– How to optimize the life of these soils?
– Presentation of Mas Heritage red 2018\u00a0
–\u00a0The range of wines produced\u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

The domain is 5 ha, today 3 ha are in production. The whole is planted on a very homogeneous soil, of sandstone of the Cevennes Triassic, very draining sandy soils.
The advantage is to produce wines with a lot of elegance, the constraints … Fran\u00e7ois tells us about it in the video below.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Fran\u00e7ois has a second activity and works as a viticultural advisor for organic winegrowers. Each vineyard is different, requiring the winemaker to constantly reflect on how to best adapt his farming techniques and produce quality grapes that best express their terroir.

Fran\u00e7ois remains an advocate of living soils.
According to him, plant cover is very interesting, especially if it is selected, but plant cover on sandy, highly-draining soils is a daily challenge. Indeed, the low water retention of sandstone combined with summer droughts and torrential rains during the Cevennes episodes complicate enormously this reflection.

Today, Fran\u00e7ois continues to test his practices.\u00a0
After sowing alfalfa after the harvest and limiting his tillage to a minimum, he has to reconsider his approach.
Without tillage, the rain will not penetrate the soil and will run off.

So, for a few vintages now, Fran\u00e7ois has been working his soil, but as late as possible and not all the way down the row. His idea is to keep the center of the row with vegetation.

He chooses legumes that can be reseeded from one year to the next, since he lets them go through their lifecycle.

Fran\u00e7ois explains that legumes are microorganism-compatible, meaning that they favor the development of a dense and rich microbial population. \u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

The wine has just been bottled, it is an unusual blend but dear to Fran\u00e7ois with 80% Syrah and 20% Pinot Noir. Here 100% of the grapes come from the 7 Pierres estate.

The vinification of the two grape varieties was done separately, and the wine was aged for two years in demi-muids to allow the tannins to develop.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
