Flowering of the vine.

The flowering of the vine is close to be over on our parcels of Chardonnay. Unfortunately, and despite all the informatic possibilities, we will not be abble to take offer you the delicate smell that spreads in the vine routes. On the other hand, we can help you to understand the phenomenon.
The flowers are 5 stamens and a pistil and their flowering take place in 3 times.



-The fall of the flower cap. It's a natural shield that covers the flower before flowering to protect them. It will be ejected by the pening of the stamens.

Some caps are still in place.


- The pollination. The bags of pollen will open and the grains will fly with the wind to fertilize other flowers...Unfortunately with this wet weather, the risk of lost of pollination is real.

-Fertilization. The grain of pollen will stick at the top of the flower and fertilize it.
