adama-terroirs.fr

ADAMA is an independent French consultancy specializing in the study and mapping of vineyard soils and subsoils. Established as a limited liability company in 2015, it builds on more than a decade of earlier work in the field. The firm helps winegrowers better understand how landscape, geology and soil contribute to the character of vineyard terroirs.

Its services include conventional geopedological mapping at regional, local and individual-parcel scales, as well as high-resolution geophysical surveys to identify soil units with particular agricultural and viticultural potential. ADAMA also provides targeted soil and subsoil assessments, physiographic and geological studies, and maps of landscape features such as elevation, slope and aspect. Its work can cover an entire vineyard, a single plot or a group of plots.

To share technical findings with wider audiences, ADAMA offers training for professionals and enthusiasts, along with educational documents and communication materials explaining vineyard geology and soil science. The company’s services are delivered by geologist Françoise Vannier and geopedologist Emmanuel Chevigny, who bring specialist experience in vineyard soils and mapping.
