First frost.

It's sunday the 28th of october 2012 et we just change our clock's to be in the winter time. To confirm that we are now in the cold season, it frost this night.

Les leaves will not be attachet for a long time. The cold temperatures is going to fragilyse the connexion beetween the leaves and the branch. A light wind will be enough to detach them.

A lucky man, located on an other continent, is soon going to receive these 2 bottles. they just come from our secret "vinotheque". Carte Or vintage 1998. 60% Pinot Noir et 40% Chardonnay, Dosage de 2gr/l. We also found the old labels from this period.

Starling : the last harvesters.

Every year, we have the pleasure to admire the air show of starlins that come to steal grapes from clusters of the second génération, or from those forgotten during the harvest.

The show is superb ! Thousands of them, grouped as dark clouds, evolving in a perpetual choreography. Located on a field not far from the vineyards, they move in a long processon to clusters, tear off a fruit in very quickly, then go back to eat. The movement is almost endless.

Their pilots skills are very high, because, even if they fly every directions, and despite thei large number, thei never strike.

Tom, from Danemark.
