Training System:
LE PLANTIER DE CHIPRE VINEAYARD which produces THE VIGNE SAINSI ROSE has a high density of 5,000 vines per hectare in order to create a competitive environment for each vine: their roots are thus obliged to sink deep into the soil, helping them to express the terroir qualities.
The vines are trellised high with stainless steel wires and stakes. They grow 2.3 m tall to provide maximum leaf canopy. The greater the leaf area per grape, the more nourishment it receives.
Cordons de Royat pruning limits yields, provides good aeration, and distributes the grapes evenly on the vine than the Guyot single or Guyot double methods.
Pruning is severe to limit yields.
Green harvesting is done as necessary so there are no more than 8-10 bunches per vine (the equivalent of about 50 hectolitres per hectare).
The vine rows are oriented to take full advantage of prevailing westerly winds, to avoid pollution from the others vineyards.
Hectares of Production:
5,5 hectares are currently producing.
Harvest: is planned only a few days beforehand according to analyses of sugar and anthocyanin levels in order to obtain their best possible balance.

Ageing:
