Dear Friends, Customers and Lovers of authentic, regional produce,
For us, as for you, the winter was long and we are all looking forward to seeing the return of the sun.
However, and we might as well admit it now, this weather actually suits winegrowers: growth is gentle, we're not in a hurry, the sun will no doubt come later. At least we are no longer under the influence of the famous Ice Saints, Pancrace, Servais and Mamers who got the better of the few rare young buds.
Nevertheless, we will soon start the Spring de-budding, which involves removing all the secondary shoots, excess buds and suckers so that the vine is aerated and future yields can be controlled. In this way we can face the end of Spring with serenity, praying that Zeus will protect us from his anger.
Wishing you happy tastings...
Best wishes,
Nathalie, Frédéric and the team
