My Little Vine 2010
This year, I came back to the vine we followed last year, in the Echezeaux. This will allow us to compare the two years.
  |
Sunday August 29, 2010 From now on,maturation will occur inside the berrie : sugar richness, aromatical evolution, decrease of the acidity... |
  |
Monday August 23, 2010 The bunches are nearly totally coloured now. We will wait one more month though, before harvest, so that they can fully ripen. |
  |
Wednesday, August 11, 2010 Some of the berries are red allready, when the others remain green. This is showing us the different blooming dates. |
  |
Thursday August 5, 2010 The berries are beginning to turn red! Storms are expected for tonight, but also sun for the end of this week. |
  |
Sunday July 25, 2010 Since Wednesday, it has been raining frequently, which induces faster growing of the grass between the vines. We fight it the hard way, with hand tools. The berries will begin to turn soon. |
  |
Monday July 19, 2010 We have been very lucky, not having hail storms untill then ! The grapes are growing fast, my little vine is looking nice... |
  |
Wednesday July 7, 2010 My vineyard likes these high temparatures, but powdery mildew too... Therefore we will be very carefull for the coming two weeks ! |
  |
Wednesday June 30, 2010 Thanks to the higher temperatures, since last week, the grapes are growing very fast. Harvest should start at the 20-25th of September. |
  |
Monday June 21, 2010 In spite of low temperatures, flowering is nearly finished : we are 2 weeks later than 2009 (a precocious year). |
  |
Thursday, June 10, 2010 The first flower appears ! Full blossoming should occur next week. |
  |
Thursday, June 3, 2010 My vineyard is growing beautifully, tomorrow we will move the wires for the fist time, in a way to keep the branches straight and separate. |
  |
Sunday May 30, 2010 My little vineyard hast been growing fast these last few days, thanks to nice temparatures, at last ! But grass has been growing as well... |
  |
Thursday Mai 20, 2010 Time seems to have stopped two weeks ago... But we are expecting some sun, at last ! |
  |
Wednesday May 12, 2010 We are happy to observe that the frost did not disturb my little vineyard. The futur flowers already look like little grapes... |
  |
Friday May 7, 2010 My vineyard is growing slowly but surely, ignorant of low temperatures ! |
 |
Thursday April 29, 2010 Temperatures are very low in the morning but they are rising fast during the day. My vineyard is growing fast. But we will be afraid of frost until mid-May...
|
  |
Wednesday April 21, 2010 My vineyard is showing the arrival of spring : the sap is rising, we can see it leak from the cane, and the buds keep growing |
  |
Wednesday April 14, 2010 Thanks to a dry weather during the last 8 days, we have been able to plough my vineyard. Then we have tied the canes on the wire. My little vienayard is now ready to grow up ! |
 |
Monday April 5, 2010 Spring is arriving quite slowly this year, buds are ready to start though! |
