Domaine du Vissoux : July 2012 (2/2)

1 August 2012

    The second half of July has seen a very hot and drier weather than the first. The grapes will soon change color.

    During these two weeks we did the last work of the vine. Now we just have to let the grapes ripen. We work the soil one last time, in the ranks first and then between the plants. This work is mechanical, it is made with the tractor. You can see the result on the attached pictures. Moreover, the vines that we attached earlier was cut on the top.

    Thursday, July 19, we harvested the black currant "Noir de Bourgogne à petits grains". Harvesting is mechanical. 1500 kg, that will be the cream of cassis.
