    What a great tradition of wine making! I love it! Also, side note, dear family friend is a vet and grapes and raisins can make your dog very I’ll and depending on the size of each can be deadlier then even dark chocolate. Our dogs have gotten into both and had their tummy’s pumped and long hospital stays a few quite touch and go. The things they don’t tell you when getting your fur babies! Love watching y’all over the last few years your doing a great thing for a beautiful place!

    I was always told grapes are a no no for dogs! What a beautiful vineyard

    This is so beautifully shot. It's wonderful to see so many people now growing Biodynamic and Organic wine. We just love Autumn in France and over here in Italy. Our favorite time of the year. Many thanks Maria e Rowan

    Recently discovered your videos and I have been binge watching the series (from Melbourne). What a monumental task. My wife and I love Paris and everything French and greatly admire your work and committment to saving this wonderful chateau. Well done and we will follow your progress.

    HOW LOVELY!! The drone shots, the closeups, the music, the sense of community... so wonderful in 2024 with war and politics and end-of-time predictions. Thank you for sharing that with us!

      We're thrilled you enjoyed it. The vendange (or grape harvest) is a wonderful tradition. It all happens in a rush when the wine maker decides the perfect time to harvest has arrived. We respect Fiona's wines and were honoured to be involved. Thanks for your message!

    The purfect additions to Pernon's channel. Beautifully filmed up close and personnel. This is a beautiful process with the horse I bet it's a better flavor not to have a machine involved. I would love a taste Mmmmm

    I see Chinon! I lived there as a little boy. I noticed this week a shot of the chateau when your friend was talking about tractors. We lived there from 1963-66

    I think feeling of community is amazing .
    I'm assuming that there was a squeeze of grapes process there somewhere.

    Nice job on this bountiful grape harvest!
    It was a bit disturbing to me to see someone feeding a dog grapes😮. Unless there is something different about these particular grapes, a dog should never eat them, since they have a naturally occurring chemical that can kill your pet if he eats it. My fear is that, since the dog liked the grape, he may find more of them to eat leading to tragic circumstances.😢😢

    My father was the last commander of the post there in Chinon before it was turned back over to the French government. I often purchase Vouvray and Chinon Rose when I can find it

    Just be very careful feeding grapes to a dog they are Toxic to dogs . black currants are ok but not grapes . Beautiful video
