The Product

Sturgeon is a very old and fragile fish: respect of its life cycle determines the final quality of the Caviar. Environmental commitment, innovative technological research and the control of breeding and development is at the heart of the Domaine's approach.

Great care is taken to minimize the handling of fish during the assessment stages of their growth and transfers in the different basins. The feed is 100% organic, based on GMO-free cereals, processed animal proteins and fish meal from sustainable fishing.

The Sturgeon are farmed in the Domaine's own pools fed by the high quality waters of the River Isle and the re-cycled back to the river. The fish density per pond is lower than average to promote natural environmental balance and health.
