Chris Goes to the Rose Trimoulet Vineyard


Here are the fields of the vineyard. The grapes weren't ripe yet. You can't see them in this picture, but a lot of growers traditionally grow a few rose bushes on the edges of their fields. This is supposed to ward off diseases and curses.


Here is where they store the wine for aging. Apparently the casks are very important and they are made by expert cask makers. The casks are made of special oak, and they are only used for four years. They cost like 2000FF each. Once they are used up, the wine makers try to sell them. Some go to make whiskey barrels, while others are used as furniture or whatever.
