In the winery, lab work!

The lab work is an important part of the process, as it permits our winemaker to confirm his tastings conclusions and helps him to make decisions in the winemaking.

Marie Thibault is our seasonal cellar hand in charge of taking samples and proceeding to the analysis.

Team work and sharing of experience and knowledge...

25th of March - first Sauvignon Blanc harvested!

End of the day at the winery...

Today, after harvesting some more pinot noir this morning from our block called Kaki clones 114 115. We continued this afternoon with our first sauvignon Blanc coming from our block called Petit pierre, from our riverbed soils.

Few more pictures from the winery today, and we'll focus a bit more on the vineyard tomorrow.

We are actually very satisfied with the sanitary state of our grapes. With a rainy month of february, once again our work on low yields proves us right, as botrytis and rot are absent from our fruit. We'll give you more information on this tomorrow, with photo proofs !

The tractor is coming straight from the vineyard to the winery, a great improvement for us as the fruits are taken care of immediately after picking.

In no time, the grapes get into the press.

And first grapes in our new winery...

Today is also a new step in the development of Clos Henri. After a long year of intense work for the Bourgeois family, our winameker Damien Yvon and our Admnistration manager Chrissie Wilson, our winery has opened its doors to the first harvest. First fruits are in!
