The pruning at the Domaine is almost finished, pulling and burning the shoots too. There are a few stocks remaining in our parcel of Beaune 1er Cru Les Cents Vignes but the past very cold days (-10 ° C) slowed down our work.

It is not good for the freshly pruned shoots to be expose at such cold temperatures. So we could not continue the past few days.

A second session of replanting vines has been done in our Beaune 1er Cru Les Cents Vignes, Auxey-Duresses 1er Cru Les Ecussaux and Santenay Clos du Clos Genet parcels. About 500 additional vines. The goal is to renew prematurely dieing vines.

Also, the beautiful cold and sunny days allowed us to bring organic nutrients in the vineyard. Spreading the nutrients is done by tractor.

Spreading nutrients while the ground is frozen limits the soil compaction related to our passage. We take all opportunities to work according to the weather.

This article is also the opportunity to tell you that Sylvain, our tractor driver, made the decision to leave the Domaine for a new professional challenge. We wish him good luck and success for his future. New crew members will come in March.

Finally, the next big event for wine professionals is planned for mid-March. Les Grands Jours de Bourgogne.

The Domaine will be presenting the 2016 vintage on March 13th and 15th. We are waiting for you.
