These vineyards were abandoned and belonged to various owners, whom Bruno set out to buy.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eOn this land untouched by chemicals, Bruno meticulously cleared the soil before replanting his vines. He selected Pinot Blanc, Riesling, Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Petit Meslier, and Arbane vines from the grape varieties found at the \u003cstrong\u003econfluence of Champagne, Alsace, and Chablis\u003c\/strong\u003e , all propagated through massal selection. Drawing on the history of his land, Bruno wished to pay tribute to all the men who lost their lives in the First World War by naming his estate \u003cstrong\u003eLes Innocents (The Innocents\u003c\/strong\u003e ). In his vineyards, anything that might evoke this painful past is carefully removed. His natural preference for training his vines is to use wooden stakes rather than wire trellises.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eBruno is a follower of the principles of Japanese agronomist \u003cstrong\u003eMasanobu Fukuoka\u003c\/strong\u003e , who defined natural agriculture and advocates non-intervention. Clover, so dear to Fukuoka for its pest control properties, is naturally abundant in Bruno's grassy vineyards.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e \u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eThe wines are made without any additives, in a completely natural way, in vats to express the limestone terroir.
