The May vine cycle: at the heart of renewal

In May, Vignobles Dubard vibrates to the rhythm of the vines in full effervescence. Nature reclaims its rights and begins one of the most decisive moments of the year: active growth.

Each stage of the growing cycle is an essential link in the chain that patiently leads to the production of our wines. Let's take a closer look at these key phases that shape the life of the vineyard:

🍃 Budburst (March-April)

With the first rays of spring, the vine slowly emerges from its winter dormancy. The buds open, revealing delicate young leaves: this is the signal to wake up.

🌿 Twig growth (April-May)

The shoots lengthen visibly. The leaves unfurl, capturing the light and producing the energy the plant needs. It's an intense period when the vine is laying the foundations for its future harvest.

🌸 Flowering (late May - June)

Discreet white flowers appear: a decisive moment. Flowering determines the quality and quantity of the harvest. Homogeneous flowering, without climatic stress, is the harbinger of a good harvest.

🍇 Fruit set (June-July)

Fertilized flowers give birth to tiny green berries. The first grapes take shape: the promise of the wine to come.


Right now, our vines are experiencing this natural dynamic to the full. Every day, our team works with precision and respect for the living world to accompany this renewal. Because behind each bottle lies a year's worth of gestures, care and shared passion.
