9th April 2015: first signs of budbreak I've seen in an AC Touraine
I am assuming this is Sauvignon Blanc as it is amongst the first to bud
Rare wild tulips in Le Haut-Lieu vineyard
(Domaine Huet, Vouvray)
Apparently these tulips are only found amongst the vines in Vouvray
and I'm told not in the other communes of the appellation
Across the road from Le Haut-Lieu parcel
– vineyard with many replacement vines showing
the serious ravages of the vine disease Esca
Weeping vines at Château des Bidaudières
(cultivated by Domaine Perrault-Jadaud,Vouvray)
Traditional celebration of the arrival of Spring in some vineyards
– turning vineyards orange and gold
(above and below)
(from above) ..... to achieve this

Oooooh! I didn't know about the tulips. I'll keep an eye out.
Curiously this was the first time we had seen them. Told they are rare.
