Three of our wine growers ahead in the Gironde pruning contest!

On Saturday 29th November three of our wine growers took part in the pruning contest organised by the Gironde Agricultural Employees’ Association, and did remarkably well as Céline Ayala came in 1st, Gilbert Martin finished 4th and Cédric Chabosseau 12th. Beyond their personal triumph, it gives Château Margaux a great sense of pride, and signifies working excellence. Congratulations !
In fact, pruning is a crucial operation in the vineyard: it enables us to manage our yields and to ensure a greater lifespan for our vines. And thus, the pruning of each vine stock is best determined by our wine growers, to which fact we attach major importance .
