| A frost stapple. |
After a month of December and January very warm, with temperatures above 0°C, winter is finally installed on Champagne. He arrived with his panoply of makeup and dressed the nature of frost, and a bit of snow. But not enough for a ski ride on the slopes.
Beyond the beauty it gives to our landscapes, the season is very important for our vines.
The frost that paralyze centimeters of soik killed bacteria, insects or larvae enemy of the vines. Cold imposes a dormancy and avoids a too rapid startup of buds. While the phases of freezing and thawing will open the soil and enable it to aerate naturally.
