According to Fran\u00e7ois, the spring of 2020 was not complicated but he had to be vigilant to intervene at the right time and make the few treatments before the rains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The flowering went well, it was homogeneous and regular at the beginning of June under a very blue sky.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At the time of writing, summer temperatures have settled down, it is hot during the day, but the vineyard benefits from still cool evenings. Soon with the month of August will also come the hot nights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The vines are beautiful, there is no trace of disease. However, as the veraison is just beginning, it would be good to see some more rain as the leaves are beginning to curl &#8211; a sign that the vines are thirsty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For the moment the harvest is announced for the beginning of September. Some Syrah grapes have just started to change colour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/mcusercontent.com\/8cc45cf08bf7beaf6f607b870\/images\/431a646d-f028-46db-b023-f677524f34ae.png\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/mcusercontent.com\/8cc45cf08bf7beaf6f607b870\/_compresseds\/26726bb7-4a9f-45c5-a98d-2ec028785e65.jpg\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">To irrigate, or not to irrigate&#8230; that is the question.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>For Fran\u00e7ois, irrigation was something he refused for a long time. Yet for the last few years, in Ard\u00e8che as elsewhere, the vines have been suffering and hot, dry vintages have followed one another.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the Rhone as in other regions, irrigation could become the only solution to maintain vine cultivation. Trials are being carried out to work with resistant grape varieties but we must not lie to ourselves, it is a real subject. The survival of farms is sometimes at stake.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At Mas Heritage &#8211; Fran\u00e7ois&#8217;s estate &#8211; the 2019 vintage produced grapes without juice on certain plots. It was necessary to make a drastic sorting, without counting the direct loss of harvest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Therefore, Fran\u00e7ois decided to submit a file to the DDT (Direction D\u00e9partementale des Territoires which manages these requests) to allow a very moderate and controlled irrigation of his vineyard and to provide only the necessary water when conditions become too arid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>First of all, he called upon a&nbsp;<em>Sourcier<\/em>&nbsp;&#8211; a traditional water-source &#8211; to locate a water vein and see where to drill. It is very impressive to see him working, using his green wooden sticks made from Hazelnut branches, he looks for water below-ground. The&nbsp;<em>Sourcier&nbsp;<\/em>hands a wand which,&nbsp;as soon as he is above a spring, twists as we can see in the video below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<p class=\"responsive-video-wrap clr\"><iframe title=\"Le sourcier en Ard\u00e8che\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/AwHkQ5meGLM?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<\/div><figcaption>Water&nbsp;<em>Sourcier<\/em>&nbsp;searching for underground water supplies at Mas Heritage with Fran\u00e7ois Tissot<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Fran\u00e7ois remains reflective. &nbsp;It is not a question of soaking the vines, and he knows that the root system risks developing too much on the surface following irrigation, thus weakening the vine and making it dependent on the water brought in. So he wants to bury the irrigation network and allow the root system to develop in depth. The double advantage is that there is no loss of water by evaporation in choosing buried irrigation. It is a more efficient system with lower water withdrawal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Today, DDT has put the issue on hold due to too much drilling in the area. Plan B is ready if needed: by creating a rainwater harvesting basin into which the water used for irrigation will be pumped. When it rains, a gully passes very close to the vines and the house, it should then be channelled to a storage basin. &nbsp;However, this is a more expensive project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/mcusercontent.com\/8cc45cf08bf7beaf6f607b870\/_compresseds\/cba12662-30ae-46f1-a68e-4d04a80e2703.jpg\" alt=\"\"\/><figcaption>Future Project: Restoring the Estate&#8217;s vintage Basket Wine press for future use&nbsp;<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Other projects ?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mas Heritage, where Fran\u00e7ois&#8217; vineyards are planted, was a former estate where horse breeding, vegetable production and viticulture were practiced.
