Champagne Discours Viticulture about pruning

Everything you don't need to know about opening a bottle:


The importance of pruning


The art of pruning in Champagne


The tricks of the Chablis cut: short cut on long beams


The difference between pruning shears, electric shears and hand shears


The difference between Champagne and Burgundy in pruning


And much more


Please note: we are not in a wine region where there are only 3,500 or 4,000 vines per hectare. In Champagne, pruning alone takes between 120 and 160 hours per hectare.
