Some of our favorite winter images from 3 weeks ago, pruning in our Savigny « Dessus de Montchenevoy » with Marie.

When was the last time that we had a persisting wintery weather since December? It assures that the vines stay dormant as they should be in winter.

« On prunung - Part 2 of 3 »

When in 2020 Chanterêves became a full fledged domaine of 4,9ha - with 4,5ha planted, we had neither manpower nor time to prune twice. In the Hautes Côtes parcels, we even asked a friend to come with his tractor at the end November to cut off the branch tips mechanically so that manually eliminating the branches after pruning will go swiftly. So much for not compacting the soil…. We are yet far from being ideally equipped and for certain mechanical work like mulching the grass in Hautes Côtes, we still have contractors come to get it done.

One of my first hopes, after Guillaume joined me full time in spring 2022, was to go back to the old pruning practice, and also to prune only during the descending moon. (Farming in tune with the lunar calendar, by the way, isn’t a discovery of Biodynamics but a very ancient one.).

This year, the spring came slowly. We scrapped the mechanical pre-pruning in Hautes Côtes. We checked the long term weather pattern to decide how much we could prune in 2 steps. In the end, out of 4,5ha, we pruned 1ha - 2 parcels of Aligoté of Hautes Côtes which are our latest ripening vines - in one go but the rest we did it in 2 steps, and almost only during the desirable moon phases. Except one Friday afternoon on the 7th of April it was a lunar node and I had forgotten it. We were giving the final cut in Hautes Côtes de Beaune blanc « Les Monts de Fussey » and it hailed. The buds hadn't broken yet but were bulging, and the hail chipped away something like one bud per cane.

« On Pruning - part 1 of 3 »

Seems a bit out of sync to touch upon this when it's already June, but as we go through the growing season and witness the differences it makes depending on how we carry it out, thought it nice to write down a couple of things.

Since 2016 we growers in Côte d’Or have been dealing with spring frost risks more or less every year. We know that later we prune later will the buds break and so less the damage when frost hits. But how late can we wait to prune? The theoretical best is to prune as soon as the sap restarts to rise as Spring approaches, something like late February to early March, but then we need to get on with it very quickly, because the vines will keep directing energy to every single bud. More buds they need to nurture and longer it takes to eliminate them by pruning, and it becomes increasing taxing for the vines as time passes. If we wait so long that buds start to break, vines will start to lose vigor. Experiments carried out by the Chambre d’Agriculture de Côte d'Or even found out that pruning too late can even compromise the fruit-set.

The tradition has an answer to this conundrum: vignerons used to prune in 2 steps. In the first round, ideally from January onwards before the sap starts to rise, they choose a future cane and a spur (or 2 spurs if we prune guyot poussard) and eliminate all other one year old branches. The branch for a future cane will be kept unpruned and the future spur will be trimmed down to 3 to 4 eyes. Then in the 2nd round - most often in March - we prune those two with a desired yield in mind. This way the 2nd round of pruning will go fast, and as a result we avoid compromising the vigor.

I used to prune this way when I was taking care of my « vignes en tache » - manual work of 2,3 ha of 3 lieu-dits at Chandon de Briailles. For the first round, I could not wait until January though. I started late November so that I could finish the 2nd round « taille definitive » late March. At that time I did it more for the vine health rather than to mitigate frost damage.

Our harvest started off yesterday with our Hautes Côtes de Beaune blanc « Les Monts de Fussey »! Beautiful fruits ❤︎ What a pleasure to just cut the bunches off while chatting away with the friends who joined forces. These vendanges are for you! We are grateful and excited to yet again accompany the birth of a new vintage.

Sister and brother growers around the north hemisphere, HAPPY HARVEST to all of you. Can’t wait to exchange our experiences over glasses of all of our wines and cidres.

Happy New Year everybody!

We thank you sincerely for all your support in the past year.  How lucky we are to be able to pursue the profession we are deeply passionate about.  We are able to do that because of you.  

The last 2 years passed by in a whirl wind speed.  Though we could finally purchase our first small vineyard in 2018 that is now producing our Aligoté « les Chagniots », in 2020 we finally became a full fledged domaine of 4,9 hectares by adding Hautes Côtes de Beaune Blanc, 4 more Aligoté vineyards in the Hautes Côtes, Savigny rouge and Chorey rouge.  Also a small plot of Gamay (Vin de France) from which we are making a PetNat.  

It marked a tectonic shift in our lives, because it allowed/forced me (Tomoko) to leave my day job at Domaine Chandon de Briailles and work full time for CHANTERÊVES. 

It was a bitter sweet farewell.  At Chandon I tended three parcels as a tacheronne, being in charge of the manual vineyard work except the harvest.  It amounted to a half-time day job so I could also tend to our needs at Chanterêves and make wine.  (As a tacheronne I was freed of any obligation at the Domaine during the harvest.)  

Those 8 years at Chandon were enriching professionally and humanely.  I had wonderful bosses and colleagues.  I learned immensely and felt supported and appreciated.  Luckily I still get to see them often enough and I make a point of greeting them by honking when I drive pass by them in their vines.  

That tectonic shift will finally be complete in 2022, because we will bring out the first vintage of our Domaine wines to the market, and with that we will finally be welcoming Guillaume to also work full time at CHANTERÊVES.  This April he will be bidding farewell to Domaine Simon Bize where he has spent the last 21 years of his professional career.  

It took me 10 and Guillaume 12 years to finally work full time for ourselves.  It was painfully long, but it was worth it.  

We promise you, like we say each year, to make progress every year, so that you will be able to notice it with each new arriving vintage.  

We are grateful. 
Cheers to you and to your 2022!

When we took over 4,7ha of vines in February 2020, we were just too curious to know what’s beneath that earth. A benediction in a difficult time of Covid-19, we decided to rechannel our traveling budget to engage Françoise Vanier and and Emmanuel Chevilon, the two geologists of Adama Conseil based in Dijon to conduct a geology-terroir research in all of our lieu-dits.

Taking advantage of the good weather the digging took place yesterday! Hier an image from our Savigny «Dessus de Montchenevoy »Stay tuned for the readings and analyses of Françoise and Emmanuel!!

Lucky to be able to engage them as there’s a rapid global demand for their expertise.
