> GRAPES ON LINE: FOLLOW THE B&G BUNCHIES ON FACEBOOK

When we enjoy a glass of wine we don't often think about how the nectar got into the bottle nor what the grapes looked like in the early spring. However, for those who do, Barton & Guestier, for the first time in its history, offers the possibility to follow what happens in the vineyard week after week.

Bernard Fulloy, Chateau Magnol cellar master, replies to our questions:

Bernard, what are B&G Bunchies?
A B&G bunchy is a bunch of grapes, just hanging out there and waiting for things to happen... The (4) B&G Bunchies we follow this 2012 vintage are all Cabernet Sauvignon.

Where are they hanging?
Just behind the Château - down the steps - 9th row - 1st vine!

So anyone can see them?
so far only privileged visitors of the Chateau could see them in real, but from now on every visitor of our Fanpage on Facebook (www.facebook.com/bartonguestier) can watch them in the B&G bunchies photo album. I really like the idea of sharing them this way.

How about the other varietals in the Chateau Magnol blend?
Next year we will also put the Merlot and the Cabernet Franc in the spotlights. It will be excellent to show the differences in the way they develop along the season.

Have a look below at the wonderful development of the Cabernet Sauvignon between the end of May and the end of August!
