Les paysages viticoles varient entre la brume avec sa couleur pale plus ou moins givr\u00e9e du matin et les couleurs mordor\u00e9es accentu\u00e9es par les rayons rasants cuivr\u00e9s du soleil couchant. Nous d\u00e9marrons la taille et les travaux de chaussage (travail du sol).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
La r\u00e9colte 2016 a \u00e9t\u00e9 r\u00e9jouissante quant \u00e0 la qualit\u00e9 des vins obtenus. Nous avons pu pousser les maturit\u00e9s comme nous le souhaitions et nous sommes tr\u00e8s contents des r\u00e9sultats. Par contre si les volumes pour les rouges sont satisfaisants, ceux des blancs, notamment du chenin blanc, sont d\u00e9plorables. Comme nous vous l\u2019avions annonc\u00e9 dans un message pr\u00e9c\u00e9dent, c\u2019est essentiellement notre coteau de Clabeau\/Grandpierre qui avait subi un gros gel en avril, qui nous fait d\u00e9faut. En r\u00e9sum\u00e9, ce sont les vins liquoreux des Coteaux de l\u2019Aubance et la cuv\u00e9e Ordovicien en sec qui se feront rares.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Les blancs sont finis en fermentation, mis \u00e0 part les quelques barriques de liquoreux bien entendu, la qualit\u00e9 est digne des deux derniers mill\u00e9simes. Les rouges de \u00ab Brissac \u00bb sont d\u00e9cuv\u00e9s pour notre cuv\u00e9e Bablut et toujours en mac\u00e9ration en ce qui concerne Petra Alba et Rocca Nigra et je pense que nous tenons encore un grand mill\u00e9sime.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Je suis d\u2019autant plus content que nous avons v\u00e9cu une ann\u00e9e chaotique parsem\u00e9e de \u00ab trop \u00bb et de \u00ab peu \u00bb. Pas de froid pendant l\u2019hiver 2015\/2016 mais des gel\u00e9es tardives en avril, trop de pluie en fin de printemps (mai-juin bien mouill\u00e9s) et la s\u00e9cheresse estivale avec des \u00e9pisodes caniculaires. Bref, ce n\u2019\u00e9tait pas l\u2019ann\u00e9e o\u00f9 nous \u00e9tions dans les \u00ab normales \u00bb de saison ! Une ann\u00e9e faite de stress mais que nous finissons avec un grand sourire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dans la cave, les vins de 2014 sont assagis pour \u00eatre appr\u00e9ci\u00e9s (sauf Rocca Nigra qui va demander quelques mois suppl\u00e9mentaires), ceux de 2015 finissent leur \u00e9levage tranquillement en attendant les mises en bouteilles du printemps prochain et ceux de 2016 d\u00e9butent leur \u00ab \u00e9ducation \u00bb\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Bonne fin d\u2019ann\u00e9e \u00e0 tous.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Bien chaleureusement,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
