  Les stades phénologiques du développement des bourgeons latents de vigne ont été décrits depuis très longtemps, donc rien de nouveau sous le soleil ! 🌞 Les photos jointes (de (a) à (e ) montrent les tous premiers stades de développement depuis le bourgeon dans le coton jusqu’au stade « pointe verte » C’est à partir de ces tous premiers stades (et certainement après) que la vigne est sensible au gel de printemps. ❄ Bien entendu les températures de l’air positives 🌡 sont importantes pour le développement des bourgeons et des rameaux primaires (c’est le concept de phyllochrone), au même titre que l’état hydrique et azotée des vignes, donc la teneur en eau 💧 des sols au niveau du système racinaire est cruciale pré et post débourrement. A ce titre, si les sols sont secs et si l’irrigation est possible, il convient de commencer à irriguer pré débourrement et durant le débourrement, afin de maintenir les racines dans un certain confort hydrique. 🌊    Hélas les températures de l’air négatives ⛄ et à partir des stades (b) à (e ) peuvent occasionner des dégâts importants et détruire tout ou partie des primordia dans les bourgeons et/ou les jeunes rameaux en développement. A ce titre le taux d’humidité dans les bourgeons et de l’air peut favoriser le gel des organes concernés.    Bref souhaitons à tous les vignobles un heureux développement comme le montre la photo (h) ! 🍇 👍   The phenological stages of latent bud development in grapevines have been described for a very long time, so there's nothing new under the sun! 👇 The attached photos (from (a) to (e)) show the very first stages of development from the bud in cotton wool to the "green tip" stage. It's from these very early stages (and certainly afterwards) that grapevines are sensitive to spring frost. 😭 Of course, positive air temperatures are important for bud and primary shoot development (this is the concept of phyllochron), as well as the water and nitrogen status of the vines, so soil moisture content at the root system level is crucial pre- and post-budburst. In this regard, if the soils are dry and irrigation is possible, it is advisable to start irrigating before budburst and during budburst to maintain the roots in a certain level of water comfort. Unfortunately, negative air temperatures from stages (b) to (e) can cause significant damage and destroy all or part of the primordia in the buds and/or developing young shoots. In this regard, the humidity level in the buds and in the air can promote freezing of the affected organs. ❄ In short, let's wish all vineyards a happy development as shown in photo (h)! 🤞

Exactly one week ago, members of the Wente Family and Executive Team attended the Wine Enthusiast #WineStarAwards to watch Carolyn Wente accept the American Wine Legend of the Year award. What an exceptional evening and great honor bestowed to our team. Thank you Wine Enthusiast for the recognition. Congratulations to Carolyn and all of the winners!
