定义：在七月末到八月初期间，葡萄外观的变化：红葡萄由绿色变为红色，而白葡萄由不透明的绿色转变为半透明的绿色，甚至为金黄色。这个阶段同时也是葡萄内糖分的含量增加以及酸度降低的时期。

在波尔多，葡萄的成熟期几乎开始于所有的葡萄园，但由于目前波尔多地区缺水，成熟进程相当缓慢。过后几天预报的降雨应该能加速成熟的进程。

剪枝的工作基本上都结束了。

成熟期开始后，为了预防霜霉花叶病，葡萄树叶的上面部分应该被保护起来，因为这种病会干扰葡萄的成熟。

为了更好的保护葡萄园不受病虫害的侵袭，需要避免在土地块之间形成潮湿的区域，只需简单的采取一些良好的农业规范即可：避免水坑的形成，保养土地块之间的排水沟以便更好的排水，在行列之间保持一定的种草量，细致的剪枝和抬高葡萄树枝。

上周，我在葡萄园里散步，我很高兴地发现梅多克地区的梅洛葡萄树开花了。天气很好，这预示着授粉也会完成的又快又好。葡萄会长得非常好的！

五、六月份的葡萄园里有很多工作要做。需要松土、当心有害的植物以及检测霜霉病病菌，霜霉病是葡萄树的一种疾病。在这整个时期中，葡萄种植者们都会对葡萄园倍加关注。

Ballad with friends in the vineyard in a classic car dating 1972

I am going to give you small cleverness to recognize a light wine from a structured wine only with the view.
If the color of the wine is clear, the wine is light. On the other hand if the color of the wine is darkened, the wine will be strong.
look at the picture below !

I spent a lovely time with my friend Szeyi . We talked about France, food and wine of course.

I told her that it is  very easy to create a nice  “French atmosphere”  . I gave her some tips to prepare a French meal easy to do around the wines of Courrèges Wines

ingredients

Beef 150 g per person

chives

green beans 100g per person

rice 50 g per person

oil, salt, pepper

spices

Cut the beef into thin strips.

cook beef and  chive in a little oil, salt and pepper.  Add spices to your liking

Immerse your green beans in boiling salted water during 10 minutes. Remove the crisp beans and  fry separately with a little oil, salt and pepper to your preference

Prepare the rice as you do usually .

In a plate, place beef, beans and rice. It’s time to add a decorative note with paprika, chili, curcumin

2 wines are suitable for this meal:

Les Allées du bonheur, Bordeaux appellation: this wine is soft, elegant and   very  fruity. This wine will highlight the meal

You can also taste MONT RAUDIN (for you Franco my friend J), it is Medoc appellation, that means it is a wine with the structure. The tannins are delicate. It will fit in perfectly with beef.

You too, you can create a French atmosphere with friends or your lover

enjoy the meal
