Résumé vidéo
Généré par IAThe harvest at Clos des Gois in Mareuil-sur-Aÿ is a physically demanding process due to the exceptional steepness of the slopes. Because mechanical equipment cannot access the terrain, all grapes are harvested and transported by hand. Despite low yields caused by extreme weather, the grapes have reached an exceptional maturity and sugar level.
