THE WINTER<\/strong><\/p>\n

In November, during the first frosts, it\u2019s time to trim the vines. This time consuming task (trimming continues until spring) is done by hand and varies depending on the variety of grape as they are regulated by each grape variety standard. La taille est r\u00e9git par le cahier des charges de l\u2019appellation.<\/p>\n

Winter is also the time where we renew and repair the trellises (replacing wires and posts) before attaching the the vines at the end. \u00c0 la fin de l\u2019hiver, on attache les baguettes (le pliage).<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

THE SPRING<\/strong><\/p>\n

When spring arrives and the first buds grow, a selection is done : \u201cl\u2019\u00e9bourgeonnage\u201d or disbudding.<\/p>\n

Beginning of june is budding season, with rapid growth the new branches are fragile and need to be protected. They are picked up and attached to the trellis to protect them from winds and storms. At this time we also keep an eye on the vine\u2019s health, watching out for mildew and oidium : a vine\u2019s biggest enemies.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

THE AUTUMN<\/strong><\/p>\n

With September having arrived, it\u2019s almost time to harvest. Samples are taken to see how ripe the grapes are, and once all conditions are met (acidity, degree) the harvest begins.
Parcels go through a rigorous selections process before filling the vats.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
