Welcome to this episode where we discover Montpeyroux (postcode 34150). Thibaut Rodriguez (CEN Occitanie) describes the diverse bird species precious to the vine and winegrowers, for example, the Eurasian Hoopoe or the Eurasian Golden Oriole.

In this episode, Vincent Goumard deciphers the period of intense activity that is Spring in old Languedoc. There are many winegrower tasks to be carried out in this season: disbudding, trellising, maintenance of young shoots, working the soil etc. Vincent Goumard explains to us that, "…This is the time when you are busy from 5am to 8pm, and you never have enough time, you never have enough resources [...] even if we were 15 people working together, you feel that not everything would be accomplished, but at the same time, you are carried away by the dynamics of the vine that tells you ‘I live, I am living, I am in good shape’ ."

Come and discover how winegrowers are constantly adapting, and how the precision of each gesture carried out is in tune with the vine and its environment.
