Clement decided to go it alone in and managed to secure 1.6 ha of Chablis vines as well as some grape purchases from the appellations of Cotes d�Auxerre and Saint-Bris from his father. The vineyards were worked very naturally with no insecticides and very little intervention. An investment was made in old tractors that are lighter than the modern machinery. They consume less fuel and do not compact the soil as much.
