Au cœur des vignes de 70 ans

Publié le 28/09/201802/11/2020 par Domaine Masson-Blondelet

Dernier jour de vendanges au domaine pour les pieds de 70 ans, impression vécue de l’intérieur…

Réaction de Marie, stagiaire 6 mois au domaine et vendangeuse pour l’occasion.

« C’est une ambiance particulière les vendanges. C’est très agréable si on a, comme moi, la chance de travailler avec des personnes sympathiques et si la météo y met du sien, pas trop froid mais surtout pas trop chaud. C’est une tâche très physique et on a chaud facilement même quand on travaille tôt le matin. Aujourd’hui, pour le dernier jour, 9 degrés sous un soleil radieux c’était parfait.

Mais c’est vrai qu’il faut être en bonne forme physique parce que nos bras et nos jambes n’arrêtent jamais. Et si on a la chance d’avoir un bon binôme, nos bouches non plus. Bien sûr, on sait faire la part des choses et on se doit d’être soigneux et rapide. On travaille dehors, au milieu d’un paysage naturel et superbe, et on manipule un produit que, personnellement, je trouve très beau : des raisins dorés à souhait ! C’est très satisfaisant de voir une belle grappe de Sauvignon blanc avec ses grains tout serrés, qui va donner un futur grand Pouilly-Fumé 2018. En ce qui me concerne, c’était une expérience parfaite ! »

Vous pouvez cliquer sur les photos pour les agrandir. Vous y verrez Mélanie Masson (en rouge) et quelques uns de nos salariés permanents, vendangeurs le temps de la récolte : Thierry, Aymeric et Jean-François mais aussi Jenny, Audrey et Marie (gilet rose et cheveux longs). Ce jour là, Pierre et Jean-Michel Masson étaient en cave et Michelle, comme souvent, aux fourneaux pour rassasier toute sa famille à midi…
