Sap return – Stoppage of vegetation growth

News

In the regions affected by chronic water deficits, the C/N (Carbon/Nitrogen) ratios are getting higher and they provoke nutritional locks, mainly between the flowering and the harvest.

Carbon Balance

It consists in measuring the quantity of carbon produced by a company for its entire activity. The measurements are perfomed on specific positions belonging to the inside activity of the company but also on the outside activity performed by companies having economical and technical links with this one.

Yearly report for 2012

After an early bud in March –April followed by a cool and rainy spring, the vines have gone through a vegetative stop in May. We observed vines in slow activity with a green-yellowish foliage showing a sudden stop of photosynthesis.

Following cold waves, especially at the beginning of the season, it is possible for vines to stop growing, showing their distress by a yellowing of leaves or a greenish-yellowish pallor to their foliage.

Immediately afterward, bunch growth becomes weakened, with compacting, as well as a high degree of sensitivity to diseases and parasites.

Carried out on the property since 1987, the Méthode Cousinié has made it possible to show the consistency of harvests from both a quantitative and qualitative standpoint, by means of adopting varieties to the terroir.

Château St Jacques d’Albas (Minervois)

After I acquired the Château St Jacques d’Albas in Minervois in 2001, I decided to call in Jean-Pierre Cousinié.

Château Tayac (Margaux)

In 1995, through the intermediary of a winegrower friend, we became acquainted with Mr. Jean-Pierre Cousinié and his method.
At our first meeting, we were won over by the conduct of this method, based on observation and highly-focused analyses, from the soil to the grape bunch.
