Some sauvignon on the riverbed soils harvested - La Chapelle block


Harvest of La Chapelle block, situated just at the foot of the church Ste Solange.














This old church of almost a century has been moved 5 years ago from a nearby village called Ward, to become our tasting room. Nowadays enchanting our visitors who can enjoy either a tasting, french delicatessen products, or a glass of wine and french cheese platter etc. outside. This piece of local history has found a new story to build at Clos Henri.











Harvest under the nets. Nets are installed over 4 to 5 rows at a time in order to protect the grapes from being eaten by voracious birds, which would without a second thought take care of harvesting the whole fruit for us - but without making wine!
