    \nDomaine\u00a0des Homs
    \nJuly 23, 2018<\/p>\n

    We crossed France, heading due South –\u00a0today is the visit of the Domaine des\u00a0Homs in the Minervois!
    \nThe estate is located on a plateau, and I enjoyed landscapes from L\u00e9zignan-Corbi\u00e8res, through Puich\u00e9ric, an adorable picturesque village. The roads are very narrow, often to allow\u00a0only one car pass at a time.<\/p>\n

    The winding road continues, spanning the Canal du Midi and after a few turns, we arrive at Domaine des\u00a0Homs, old Roman hamlet where Anne and Jean Marc De Crozals have been located\u00a0since 2000.<\/p>\n

    \"\"

     <\/p>\n

    The estate has recently grown with an extension to the Winery – both for tourism and production. A\u00a0tasting room with a picture window that\u00a0frames\u00a0the Black Mountains, and an outdoor terrace for visitors to relax with a glass of wine and enjoy the countryside. \u00a0After a year under construction, we were eager to test out the patio and we can assure you, relaxation and serenity comes very quickly.<\/p>\n

    Thanks to the addition of a barrel cellar and a bottle storage space for the production side of the winery, the estate can now store the red wines one year before sale to let the tannins continue to refine in the bottle.\u00a0The Paul and Gravi\u00e8res de Sancastel cuv\u00e9es,\u00a0made from a majority of Syrah, have especially benefitted\u00a0from this extra ageing\u00a0opportunity.<\/p>\n

    Vintage 2018: Incredibly wet after a very dry winter!<\/strong><\/p>\n

    Indeed, the months of December to February which are normally rainy and allow to refill the water tables were incredibly dr. \u00a0Not a single drop of rain had fallen. \u00a0The vine growers of the region were very worried at the size of the coming harvest, because to have a\u00a0year of drought after those of difficult years of 2016 and 2017 would have been catastrophic.<\/p>\n

    The month of April saw the rains arrive and settle … The water that had not fallen throughout winter, finally came and\u00a0filled\u00a0the water tables.<\/p>\n

    And it rained. \u00a0And it rained. \u00a0The two months of April and May did not stop\u00a0raining. This was worrisome as\u00a0the month of May is also that of the flowering of the vine – a\u00a0crucial moment to prepare the fruits of the harvest and also sensitive and fragile period.<\/p>\n

    The mildew pressure was very strong during these two months in particular –\u00a0if the Mildew develops on the flowers, the whole crop is lost.<\/p>\n

    Jean Marc never left his guard\u00a0during the months of April, May and June. The vineyards\u00a0being in organic production, meaning only surface products are allowed –\u00a0unfortunately they are also washable!<\/p>\n

    Jean Marc has copper to help, and treated every 10 days to contain the disease. Of the 20.5 hectares currently in production at the estate, it takes 3 days of treatment to cover the entire vineyard.<\/p>\n

    Jean Marc’s 80-year-old father had never seen so much mildew in his entire career!\u00a0 Morels were growing in the vines, so there was pressure on the mushrooms too (like the Mildew) !!<\/p>\n

    It is a real battle that he fought, and also WON. \u00a0Only a\u00a0a small part of the harvest is lost, and we find in the vineyards a few grape clusters\u00a0here and there completely roasted, victims of the mildew battle.<\/p>\n

    All the grape varieties did not react in the same way;\u00a0\u00a0the Viognier for example was very resistant, thus very little affected by the Mildew and it will be a beautiful harvest for 2018. \u00a0The Chardonnay was touched lightly. \u00a0The Syrah has succeeded as the Viognier, and has resisted well – that\u00a0harvest looks good.<\/p>\n

    However Grenache and Cinsault, typical grape varieties of the region, are very sensitive to the disease and the losses mainly concern these two grape varieties. It is compensated for the field of Homs by the absence of coulure, also the volumes should be the same as those of 2017.<\/p>\n

    Beginning of veraison on July 23<\/strong><\/p>\n

    In mid-June, the rains finally stopped, reviving the spirits of Jean Marc who doubted he could continue to drive his vines according to the principles of organic farming.<\/p>\n

    The wind picked up,\u00a0drying the leaves and fruits, the sun settled and the heat too. These last few\u00a0days are scorching.<\/p>\n

    The visit coincided with the very beginning of veraison of Syrah. This year should have more normal harvest dates after several years of early harvest.<\/p>\n

    Beehive Installation<\/strong><\/p>\n

    It has been several years since Jean Marc spoke about it, this is now done : hives have arrived at Homs!<\/p>\n

    And the bees are already there ! No doubt, after the production of wines, almonds, olive oil and olives … honey will be the next delight on the domaine des Homs list!<\/p>\n
