2021 : here we are!  Winter pruning has been finished and we are now focusing our efforts on the new vintage: Tillage for adequate weeding in spring, use of compost to help crop growth when the bud breaks, hopefully within the next few weeks. Shoots will be attached in March…

The year 2020 is, to say the least, an unusual year in which the emergence of the Covid virus renders even the near future doubtful and uncertain, turning our habits upside down. Despite an unprecedented economic and social chaos we had to closely monitor the ageing conditions of our wines,…

As a result of the risks to health associated with Covid-19… We have all heard it many times unfortunately during the long weeks which we have just left behind.  Definitely an experience we won’t forget, and the coming days will be incredible and outlandish.  So many events deferred or cancelled,…

All this work helps to save the grapes from many diseases (prophylaxis) with a nice and healthy development of…

Despite the difficult weather conditions last year (wet spring + high temperatures = highly virulent mildew!!), 2018 proves to be a great vintage:  fruity, dense and delightfully juicy!  A real success for a year of intense team work. This year we point out the success of Château Flaunys, the most…

There is one rendez-vous that we never miss every year:  the tasting of deliverable vintages organized by our In A Bottle club.  A great opportunity to meet with vintners of the Bordeaux wine growing region and also South-West! Once again this year this tasting for professionals was held on 17…
