By directing the growth away from certain shoots, they determine how much the vine will produce: many shoots mean higher yields, while fewer shoots result in fewer grapes but of higher quality.<\/p>\n<p>This stage is essential for the future quality of the wine.<\/p>\n<p>It is also important not to prune too early. If the vine is pruned too soon, budburst will occur earlier, which can expose the buds to spring frosts.<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #98ab59;\">Administrative tasks<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Before January 31, the estate must complete its <em>d\u00e9claration de revendication<\/em> (DREV \u2014 the mandatory declaration for appellation wines) and its advance declaration of bulk wine sales for trade purposes.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #e6c379;\">February: pruning and cutting<\/span><\/h2>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #98ab59;\">In the vineyard<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>February is the continuation of pruning, and for some growers, the time to collect cuttings for future vineyard plantings.<\/p>\n<p>These cuttings can be prepared directly at the estate or supplied by a nursery. The young vines obtained are called <em>plantiers<\/em>. The goal is to cultivate resistant vines, especially against phylloxera (tiny aphids that attack the vine).<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #98ab59;\">In the cellar<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>In the winery, wine may contract due to the cold. The grower must carefully monitor the tanks and perform <em>ouillage<\/em>, topping up a barrel with wine of the same quality to prevent oxidation.<\/p>\n<p>Red wines are undergoing malolactic fermentation, while lighter cuv\u00e9es are already ready to drink.<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #98ab59;\">Administrative tasks<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Before February 28, the winegrower must complete the register of production objectives.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-4398 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/ampelio.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/7B5A0894-Web-800x533.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"333\" \/><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #e6c379;\">March: plowing<\/span><\/h2>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #98ab59;\">In the vineyard<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>March marks the time to finish pruning before spring arrives and the vine awakens.<\/p>\n<p>It is also the ideal moment to plow the soil. The grower \u201c<em>d\u00e9chausse\u201d<\/em> the vines (moving the soil back towards the middle of the row) and \u201c<em>d\u00e9cavaillonne\u201d <\/em>\u00a0(pulling the soil away from the vine stocks and into the row).<\/p>\n<p>Traditionally, plowing was done with a horse. Today, most estates carry out this work mechanically. However, some winegrowers maintain, or are returning to, this traditional method.<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #98ab59;\">In the cellar<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>White and ros\u00e9 wines are now ready for filtration.

This is when winegrowers begin <em>trellising<\/em>: tying the vine horizontally onto wires to guide its growth. This technique not only provides structure but also helps the vine aerate properly while shading the trunks and grape clusters.<\/p>\n<p>Spring is also the season for planting young vines. An estate may choose to establish new vineyards to expand its surface or to replace old vines.<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #98ab59;\">In the cellar<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Fresh, fruity white and ros\u00e9 wines are bottled at this stage.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-4399 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/ampelio.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/7B5A6144-Web-800x533.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"333\" \/><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #e6c379;\">May: protecting the vine<\/span><\/h2>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #98ab59;\">In the vineyard<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>In May, the vine becomes particularly vulnerable to diseases such as downy mildew and powdery mildew. These can be devastating, so the grower must take steps to protect the vineyard.<\/p>\n<p>Depending on the chosen farming approach, several methods may be applied: plowing for weed control and\/or spraying treatments.<\/p>\n<p>The grower also performs <em>\u00e9pamprage<\/em> (or debudding), removing small infertile shoots (<em>pampres<\/em>) to optimize the growth and energy of the productive parts of the vine.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #e6c379;\">June: flowering<\/span><\/h2>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #98ab59;\">In the vineyard<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>As temperatures rise, the vine begins to flower, and grape berries start to appear.

However, during heatwaves, careful monitoring is needed to avoid vine burn.<\/p>\n<p>Before harvest, the grower may carry out a <em>green harvest<\/em> (<em>vendanges en vert<\/em>), cutting away certain clusters to keep only the best ones.<\/p>\n<p>With climate change, harvest, traditionally in September, can now begin as early as mid- or late August.
