Optimal physiological quality of Mercier vine plants

Physiological quality

Beyond standards

OPTIMUM PHYSIOLOGICAL QUALITY

Our profession is based on being able to provide you with plants which have a powerful root system, a perfect graft and additional quality reserves. To do so, we rely on self-sufficiency in terms of plant supplies, rigorously controlled processes, powerful tools and equipment, a great deal of know-how and an uncompromising approach to quality control. The extensive experience and hands-on approach of our staff are invaluable assets.

 

Mastering the origins of the plant

PLANT ORIGINS ARE UNDER
TOTAL CONTROL

Securing optimum physiological quality starts by having total control over the origins of the plant material. The only way to achieve this is to be self-sufficient when it comes to sourcing rootstocks and scions. To do so, we possess the largest fields of plant material under our control, with more than 300 hectares in open plots and 5 hectares in off-ground greenhouses. Our plantations are under constant surveillance by our staff and all the plant material that goes into the production processes is subjected to systematic and rigorous quality checks.

Innovative and effective installations

PROCESSES AND FACILITIES

Physiological quality also depends on the processes and facilities used. Our production process relies on rigorous procedures, innovative equipment and modern, high-performance facilities. Among other things, we have more than 21,000 m2 of cold rooms fitted with temperature alarms, and a unique stratification room. All of this enables us to have complete control over the key environmental parameters to produce high-quality plants.

Skilled and dedicated staff

skilled and dedicated staff

We put people at the heart of our work. Physiological quality depends above all on the skills and dedication of all our staff. They have been with us for 15 years on average and all undergo regular training to perfect their skills and develop their knowledge. They all have the same focus - to provide you with the best possible plants.

Uncompromising quality control

REGULAR AND STRINGENT
QUALITY CONTROL CHECKS

Quality control checks are carried out at all stages of the production process. A final check is carried out at the end of the cycle to subject the plants to an ultimate, and very stringent, check on their physiological state. Our selection criteria are among the most demanding. Only those with a solid graft, a robust root system, and high-quality reserves are kept for sale.
