The Anthropocene period, the eponymous wine
Anthropocene: masculine name of Greek origin for man, fresh and new.
Current period of geological time, where human activities have a strong impact on the planet's ecosystems (biosphere) and transforms them at all levels. The beginning of the Anthropocene coincides with that of the industrial revolution in the 18th century. [Larousse]
At Domaine Piccard, L'Anthropocène is also a cuvée from Chasselas, a noble grape whose vineyard is just in front of the estate house.
Free of herbicides, insecticides, and chemical fertilizers, our entire field is a natural environment conducive to the development of healthy and sustainable viticulture.
Tillage and composting help maintain the balance between the different plants in place. In this way, our vines produce lower yields, while being more resistant to disease.
A guarantee of quality
