Winter
Vine pruning
Winter, season of transition.
The different plots need maintenance such as pruning.
We prune from December to prepare future branches.
Two kinds of pruning depending on whether it is a white or red vine.
White Chardonnay pruning
For the Chardonnay (whites) we prune using Guyot Simple, and we remove all the double buds.
Red Pinot Noir pruning
For the Pinot Noir we prune using Cordon de Royat.
Objective: limit yields, increase sunshine, air the vines and improve maturity.
Spring
Selection of future clusters
We select by disbudding the branches bearing the future bunches, to obtain the ideal number of grapes on each vine.
Attaching the rods
For the white vines we tie the sticks left during the pruning on the middle wire.
Start of plowing work
The plowing begins. Objective: to do without chemicals and aerate the soil, so that the roots plunge deep into the ground and the tastes of the terroir develop.
Summer
Disbudding and lifting
May - June: the vines are in flower, disbudding and lifting have begun, plowing continues.
Trimming, plowing and processing
July - August: trimming, plowing and processing follow one another, while waiting for the grapes to ripen.
Green harvest
In high-yielding vines, we carry out a bunch thinning to reduce yields and allow the grapes to ripen better.
Leaf thinning
Leaf thinning in the fruit zone also helps the grapes to benefit from maximum sunshine.
