Size:

The vine is cut in "guyot simple". It is located between the beginning of January and the end of March.

The pulling of wood:

The pulling of wood is done just after the passage of the tailors. The cut vine shoots are put at the medium of the row in order to crush them. That is practised between January and March.

Crushing:

Crushing consists in reducing the vine shoots, half-compartments at the time of the pulling of wood, in compost from 2 to 5 cm thickness. The vine shoots thus get one the third of the needs for the organic matter vine. The period of crushing is between January and March.

Work in green:

That consists in eliminating the greedy ones (useless year pushes), cutting down (approximately 5 times in the year) and clearing up (to remove exceeding it of bunches). This work is carried out June beginning at mid-August.

Stripping:

A stripping (on the level of the bunches) carried out with an aim of airing the vegetation and of making him benefit the maximum of the sun. That avoids (or limit) also all the diseases due to moisture (oïdium and mildew).
It is done at at the end of June.

Putting under grass and treatment:

Currently the 4/5 2nd of our vineyard is enherbé. Its goal is to limit the outputs (for a better quality) and the weeding (for a respect of the environment).
The treatments are reasoned and carried out which if there are a real pressure.

Harvest:

It is in general carried out at the end of September at the beginning of October, according to the sunning.
Here, the grape harvest is carried out with the machine to gather the grapes because that brings more flexibility to us compared to the weather and with maturity of the various pieces.
