Showing the single result
Selection massale — or sélection massale in French — is the practice of propagating new vines from cuttings taken from the best performing vines in an existing vineyard, rather than purchasing commercially produced clones. The result is a population of vines that reflects the genetic diversity of the original planting — more complex, more site-adapted, and more resilient than a monoculture of a single clone.
Adrien Renoir farms three lieu-dits of massale selection vines in Grand Cru Verzy — Les Montants, Les Épinettes, and Les Vignes Goisses — all planted between 1961 and 1971 from massale selections that reflect decades of adaptation to the chalk and climate of the Montagne de Reims. Le Grappin’s Boucherottes includes a 44-year-old massale selection parcel alongside a clonal planting — the two contributing different characteristics to the final blend.
