How Long Can Someone Live With Bowel Obstruction

I love early morning walk the roads of Burgundy.
advantage of a passage in Beaune for Vinocamp , I did not miss the sunrise over the autumn landscapes. So I went to Vosne-Romanee, enjoying the first rays of color. (Click to enlarge )

Visiting Didier Barral, Faugere at: 3:30

An Unusually, this section does not begin or with photos of beautiful vineyards in rank or great chai, or barrels properly aligned.



No, this time, I'd rather show cows, pigs, tractors, crickets ... Because that is what Didier Barral is most proud. Understand this whole "ecosystem" is to understand this character.



3:30 ...

They are rare, the winemakers who you spend ... 3:30 Especially when they have nothing to sell and that you did not show as a professional ... So three "tourists" Didier Barral presented its complete operation, for the pleasure of sharing his vision of viticulture. A meeting punctuated by wisdom.



Rural Management

The first thing he tells us, is its organization and one of his "management methods" when he kills a pig, all employees leave with a piece. It's the same for vegetables, fruits, and of course wine. It's a way to join the project team, and print in their minds they are farmers first.



Nature?

"There are patterns in agriculture. Nature, she, however, does not change ..."
He speaks well of the errors of its region, Languedoc, "we erred with the trellis of vines: it was believed that because the Burgundy and Bordeaux were using this method and was making great wines, it was a practice more qualitative. This one has forgotten is that they need sun, shade and we! The cup is much better suited "

His approach is radical bio: Most winemakers prefer to sacrifice their land to save a portion of the crop. He prefers to do the opposite, and not ruin ten years of effort for, in the end, save some 10 or 20% more of a harvest.

"People do not realize they make their grapevine. It is easy to see when the animals are not going well. They extinguished the eye, they are awful. The plant and the vine in particular, is tougher. "




Tracer his way

Didier Barral is a man for whom you feel the challenge, see the mistrust. I must say that it is not easy to get ideas off the beaten track. It tells us a story that illustrates this: in of his first winemaking, it seems that the fermentations are more intense in "Rising Moon". Intrigued, he expressed one of his neighbors, more experienced than him, whether he too has noticed the phenomenon. The answer to dissuade his brother for a long time to share his observations: "because during the harvest, you, you have time to watch the moon?". His comments
"sensitive", he now keeps it.

In the early days, moreover, well-meaning neighbors reported his father that the young, they are trying to fuck you up the vine. " Fortunately, the paternal trusted them. It
not want them. His success should help get the pill: there is nothing left to sell now or for two years to come ...



The old press

When I see the old flatbed press, basically I think it's there for decoration.
But no, it's one that is still used today. I say "how can we make as fine wines with a wine press so rude?". Didier Barral's answer is clear: "people thought it was technology that made the wine ... at first it was the presses flat, then tires, then thermoregulation, then the systematic stalking ... "



Wines

I am impressed by Faugere 2008. Always the freshness, the flavor fresh raspberries, a real thread with 2004. Didier Barral confirms to me: "vintages 2004, 2006 and 2008 are cousins
The 2009 is built on power, more southerners. It will take some time to feast on mourvèdres of Valinière.

wisdom California: Paso Robles ... via Morgon

It was a shame to spend three weeks in the U.S. without visiting some vineyards ... so we improvised a little detour through the "off the beaten path" of Paso Robles.

This appellation is located halfway between Los Angeles and San Francisco and a few miles of the Pacific.

With nearly 200 wineries, Paso Robles is the third major production area of California. She is still in the shadow of Napa and Sonoma, but begins to acquire its credentials.

A local peculiarity allows wine quality: the contrast between the water very fresh Pacific (12-15 °) and warm air masses frequently create cool mist, allowing the grapes do not suffer too much until the summer heatwave mid-day. The altitude vineyards (200-400 meters) also cooler nights, allowing grapes to ripen more slowly.

Phillip Hart and vines

We had the time to visit only one area, and I had not taken the time to investigate the area. I I am concerned the only winemaker in Biodynamics: Ambyth Estates.

not chauvinist ... Phillip has the tshirt of a nearby field!

Phillip Hart, the founder of the field, has built a small corner of paradise, nestled atop a hill overlooking the entire region. Isolated, he was able to implement biodynamic viticulture overall, with of cows, chickens, bees , more than 600 olive trees, and a significant biodiversity in the weed. He worked conscientiously its soil and the vines are planted in cups. One of his greatest pride: it irrigation within vineyards, while the practice is common - and allowed - in the region.

Little paradise, clear view ...

cons A total current local fashions, he likes fresh and low alcohol wines, and even grenache harvest in early maturity. Wines and keep a good natural acidity, which is rare in California. Amateur

great wines of the Rhone, he planted Mourvèdre, Grenache and, Syrah, and it has even been planted in the Counoise, one of the varieties "secondary" in the region of Chateauneuf du Pape! But there is ecumenical in its approach since it is also of Sangiovese (the grape of Chianti), and Tampranillo (grape of the Rioja).

Vinification in small batches

The vinification is made naturally in small tanks, and no "input" is added (include all pixie dust that are allowed in winemaking) and low / no use of S02. Its wines

most ambitious and most successful are ReVera Adamo and, with bases for Rhône Grenache and Mourvèdre, plus some Syrah. The wines keep all their fruit, the balance is built on freshness, and alcohol and woodlands are very discreet.

As often in the "Lifestyle Wineries, wines are too expensive (around $ 45), but I still was happy to bring back three bottles.

So I put the finishing touches on this post, I learn that Marcel Lapierre has left us.

For those who do not know, was a famous Marcel Lapierre Morgon winemaker. He was a tireless ambassador of winemaking that we now characterizes as "natural" (although the term is debated). It helped - by its actions, by its words and its wines - the development of an entire generation of winemakers.

link with California?

At the end of our visit Ambyth, Phillip Hart us down in his basement "personal" and proudly showed me the dozen sealed bottles of red wax, a hallmark of Morgon Lapierre. And he tells me about her visit to France in the hills Beaujolois, concluding "this is the man who convinced me to get into the natural winemaking.

This sentence, I have often heard from the lips of wine. I think among other things to this young and talented winemaker Bourguignon, who had the luck to be born at the foot of one of the most beautiful hills in Beaune, winemaking and unbeknownst to his father a barrel without SO2 ... This "daring" , he was at a party with Marcel Lapierre.

Thanks and respect to this gentleman who has given his convictions to all those tenants, to Corton Paso Robles ... He will be missed.
