3: who
is doing it?
It's hard to get an
accurate picture of just how many wine producers are employing
biodynamie. For a start, it's a method of cultivation that is rapidly
catching on among wine producers—in particular in Burgundy and
Alsace—so the list is growing rapidly. And besides those who are
certified biodynamic, there are also those who dabble in it, or who
are experimenting with part of their production. It is a rapidly
changing picture.
Another
complicating factor is that there are many different flavours of
biodynamie. It's hard to be precise about exactly what is and what
isn't biodynamics. Some people quietly get on with it, while others
shout about it, which makes the compilation of a definitive list of
biodynamic producers a near impossible task.
So
what I have done here is produce a selection of producers who, to the
best of my knowledge, are practising biodynamie. Corrections or
additions to the list are welcomed.
