In June, the vineyards are bursting with energy. The Cotes du Rhone plain is a billowing of green lines punctuated by the occasional hedge or line of wind-breaking cyprus trees.
From May to early June, the grapes flower very discretely. Yes, vines to flower, with tiny pale blossoms. This season is a fragile one for the plants, as bad weather can damage and even endanger the harvest.
The strong light and heat of the longs days of June and July, the summer Provence sunshine offers to the vineyards strength and sugars
that will become the finished wine's personality.
The first days of August bring the festivals of veraison celebrating the grape's changing colors.
