Last pruning cuts.

This morning, we have pruned our last plot. It was the youngest one that surrounds the House. We wanted to wait for the last moment to nok risk being caught by frost, but the summer temperatures (20°C afternoon) told us to hurry. Sap began to climb in the branches.

Still very small branches of these young vine have been cut to determine the final pruning shape for each grape variety.

This vine is near by the house and the tasting room, wa have planted two roads of Pinot Meunier that we will prune in Guyot, two roads of Pinot Noir which will take the shape a Cordon de Royat and the rest is planted with Chardonnay (specific white grappe of Villers Marmery, on the slopes of Montagne de Reims mostly in Pinot Noir) which we will prune in Chablis.

Small wood and branches were tighten in bundles to lihjt our barbecues.
