Did you know that, to be able to prune grapevines in Champagne, growers need to have a diploma from the Corporation des Vignerons? ✂ Pruning is not an easy task, both physically and mentally. It takes about 200 hours to prune a hectare—it’s all done manually—and judgements need to be constantly made about what and how much to cut and whether new shoots need to be left for next year. All of this, in the context of the success of last year’s harvest and of the coming year’s expected climatic conditions. 🍇 Decisions made now during pruning season will have a profound effect on the vine for this year’s harvest and next year’s, in terms of both how the grapes will grow and mature and also the health of the vine. 🏆 It’s sometimes easy to overlook the incredible work that goes into bringing a bottle of champagne into existence, but it is this diligent labour that gives grower champagne its much-deserved reputation.
