Because of a nice weather for 2 months, the vine growth is in advance of one week compared to a normal year. The soils are very dry but it is good for the vines and hopefully bad for the mildiou.

We are now ending the de-budding with a bigger crew of 8 people working and we will soon start to work on the canopy as canes are big enough.
