November and December where very busy for us but very enthusiastic meeting our customers and friends ! Many thanks for your loyalty, compliments and sweet presents !
In the vineyard the leaves are slowly changing of colour turning in to gold reminding the Autumn season is here. The leaves are slowly falling down. The vine pruning can begin to extend all the winter.
The quick vine growth during the spring and the summer 2020 made the vintage early. In our Estate the harvest extended between the 27th of August and the 4th of September.
After the rain of the winter the sun is currently highlighting our Terroir ! In March the vines enjoyed sun making the buds bigger and bigger. The bud bursting is for next days…
In February our job of vine growers is convert into Champagne makers. The vine pruning is in progress and it’s time to taste our wines from the vintage 2019…
After the vintage our vineyard has slowly fell in the long winter sleep leaving the leaves on the soil. Only some mushrooms have grown in this sleeping nature… The pruning of the vine his currently progressing since the first days of November.
The thunder has now stopped leaving behind a beautiful weather with sunny days in the Marne Valley. The grapes are putting on weight. In our vineyards because we are growers we continue to take care of the future vintage until the harvest.
"The more thunder in April, the beter the wine next vintage". The first thunder already foressees a very good vintage ! We hope our grand parents say true...
We're now approching the end of Jully and the grapes are already very well developped. The vintage is foreseen around the 5th September. August will tell us more about the exact date. The first berries will slowly become purple. This step is called the veraison.
