As with all of the Joseph Mellot estates, the vines are cultivated according to the principles of sustainable (integrated) viticulture. In 2019, the Domaine obtained the HVE (Haute Valeur Environnementale) Certification.

The rigorous selection of the grape juices and the vinification according to terroir produces a wine that has both the fruity character of the “caillottes” and the mineral notes that are specific to the flinty soils of Pouilly-Fumé.

Domaine des Mariniers has already acquired the HVE certification and is willing to pursue an environmentally-friendly farming of the vineyard. Therefore, the Domaine began its transition towards organic agriculture in 2020.

The vineyard, which is rich and complex, is able to offer a large panel of terroirs, namely pebbly limestone terrace, flint clay terroirs and Kimmeridgian marls. The Sauvignon Blanc, iconic varietal of the appellation, is being cultivated there, in a proper and sustainable way.
