Agricultural, viticulturist, arboriculturist, environmental Méthode Cousinié®
« More nutritional balance with fewer treatments. The Méthode Cousinié® offers grapegrowers increasingly more peace of mind and security in the handling of the vineyard »
Interactive, the Méthode Cousinié® summarizes the experiences I’ve undergone, observations in vineyards, and my extensive exchanges of ideas with grapegrowers, farm supervisors, winecellar masters and managers.
"I have created a chart for analyses and specific actions. These make it possible for my partners and me to work within the vineyard in a precise and carefully-paced fashion".
A GLOBAL CONCEPTThe Méthode Cousinié® illustrates the essential notion of a "perfectly-balanced biological sphere” . This implies a global means of reflection, a more environmental approach to agriculture, with carefully-measured and effective nutritional and corrective solutions.
It simultaneously allows for soil balance to be restored, for the natural defense abilities of vines to be reinforced, and for the intrinsic qualities of the grape to be improved.
AN ANALYTICAL METHODThe perspectives opened up by the Méthode Cousinié® have inspired us to seek scientific partners skilled at carrying out comprehensive analyses (soils, subsoils, wood, limbs, leaves, grapes).
Soil analyses establish the biochemical map of the soil and subsoil, revealing to us the personality of the land.
Leaf, berry and wood analyses provide 2 levels of information for us: - Leaf diseases and thus their corrective treatment or supplementary nutrition requirements.
- The status of the varieties, their characteristics and the “real life” of the vinestock.
The goal is to define specific physical-chemical and biochemical data more accurately, data linked to knowledge of the terroir being studied.
The Méthode Cousinié® certified laboratory ensures that we will obtain highly reliable results from a technical and scientific standpoint, these being conditions necessary for a painstaking and relevant interpretation.
The wealth of data acquired over more than 30 years has made it possible to implement the Méthode Cousinié® Reference System.
THE COUSIFERTYL® SOIL SOLUTIONSoil mastery stems from a fine-tuned comprehension of the terroir as well as from a suitable recommendation of high-quality amendments, with secondary consequences of benefit to the environment.
The Méthode Cousinié® certified Cousifertyl® amendments are prepared and assembled by a specialized company under quality control.
Experience and the mastery of nutrients have fostered the creation of specific concepts in response to a number of criteria: superior quality of components, cumulative assimilation potential, and cutting-edge natural materials :
- Belumus®: plant bases with sheepfold manure, plant meal and woody materials.
- Organo-mineral formulas with a compost base and components tailored to the need for nitrogen, phosphates, potassium, magnesium or calcium.
- Oligo-element commercial products skillfully combined: boron, iron, manganese, molybdenum and zinc.
The close correlation between soil analyses and a nutrition plan are determining factors when it comes to recommendations of the exact, tailored formula specifically created and assembled, and which corresponds to each terroir.
The Méthode Cousinié® represents a veritable springboard for harmonious plant development that is open to exchanges: so many criteria fundamental to successful grape ripening and winemaking.
THE COUSIFOLIA® FOLIAGE SOLUTIONCousifolia® range of leaf-nutrition products is a collection of formulas prepared to bolster recommended corrective and nutritional treatments.
The choice of technically advanced components confers to these naturally mild products: - true effectiveness: leaf sprays with fast and long-lasting curative and nutritional action.
- a high degree of flexibility for use, preparation and application (solubility, formula stability, fine particle size, etc.).
These complex and balanced “vine” formulas have been prepared with an eye toward their differentiated and synergic actions on the various parts of the plant.
Based on the interplay between their association and their combination, our recommendations are a means of enhancing the mineral nutrition and the optimal metabolism of vines at every stage of growth.
Regular and on-going controls are applied to Cousifolia®, the exclusive Méthode Cousinié® range of leaf-nutrition products. These respond to our desire to foresee the future, in keeping with regulations, while constantly expanding our agricultural know-how, with total respect for the environment.
PROFESSIONAL AGRICULTURAL FOLLOW-UPConsolidation of the farm assistance and follow-up agreement is carried out by means of a table of requirements and responsibilities, created and freely consented to beforehand.
The operation follow-up agreement covers: - regular visits to the vineyard.
- sampling in accordance with a rigorous procedure.
- analytical interpretations making it possible to foresee plant behavior during the weeks and months to come.
- rational, thus economical, recommendations: preventive solutions to avoid having to apply curative treatments.
- measures aimed at boosting effectiveness: strict tallying and controls.
The Agricultural Méthode Jean-Pierre Cousinié® establishes a highly dynamic and productive interaction method. This “expert” information strengthens your decision-making power, leading to increased mastery of the vineyard.
Agricultural advances by the Méthode Cousinié® are significant in terms of increasing the overall quality of wines, and in terms of an economic reassessment by means of our own guarantee of excellence.
