The Rosé is done, back in the tank to ferment.
Now the daily remontage (pumping over) , the regular pigeage will rhythm the work in the cellar.
We are happy! A good harvest, the juices are slowly transforming themselves into great wine.
Our all natural approach shows once again that respecting nature has its rewards!
In the vineyard as well as in the cellar the results are there.
2007 will be a good vintage, more on that when the first wines are bottled.
See you all in 2008!

As work goes on without trouble in the field lets concentrate on the work in the cellar.
After the grapes arrive in our special crates we will have a last look to take out the unwanted visitors (snails, stones and so on) and run them through the destemmer.
The berries will then fall into the stainless tanks to start fermentation.

Promises, Promises.
The every day didn't really work out as there was too much to do in the vineyard and the cellar.
Work has progressed, the Syrah looks wonderful and is all harvested.
The Merlot is being picked and again the fruit is just perfect.
The hot weather continues and if we are happy in the cellar out in the field it is really hot, but the sun beats the rain for sure.

Harvest has started!
Yes another year has passed and it was busy!
Traveling the world to present our wines, after all the work in cellar was done.
Bangkok and Singapore, Taipei and Hong Kong, Shanghai and Beijing, have no more secrets.
Present at Vinexpo in Bordeaux in June, and here we are in September, under a beautiful sun harvest has started.
Another cycle in the vine comes to an end , and if we had some worries, as always, the fruit looks good.
No disease, no mildew. Languedoc escaped the bad weather seen in Bordeaux and Burgundy.
No hail, not much rain.
And the we really see the positive result of our organic approach! Healthy vines and great fruit.
As we did last year we will post (at least try to) every day on the progress.
