100% Biodynamics: The Guide to Wines in France (2024 Edition) by De Willy Kiezer | Omniscience

Within an agricultural sector undergoing significant changes, with a decrease in pesticides and more sustainable practices, biodynamics is gaining more and more importance in both production and consumer minds. And it is in the wine sector that this progress is the strongest. The time has finally come for agroecology and more virtuous practices that better respect soil biology and our health. Biodynamics is often considered the most sustainable certified production method in the wine sector: prohibition of synthetic products, reduced copper doses, and reflection on soil conservation... the specifications of these two labels are significantly more restrictive than in organic farming, both in the vineyard and in the cellar. Often highlighted and even rewarded by tasters and specialized reviews, biodynamic wines have that little extra something: soul! They are purer and closer to the terroirs where the grapes are grown. More diverse, they broaden the range of flavors and emotions.

This innovative guide has brought together a team of exceptional tasters to put nearly 300 certified or undergoing certification biodynamic wine estates to the test. Approximately 750 estates identified, over 500 wines tasted and scrutinized for a hundred favorites to discover in this 100% biodynamic book, the first of its kind in France!
