040918-137-3717.jpg The pond looks as if it is artificial. Probably to improve the humidity of the soil and the micro climate	040918-137-3720.jpg The reception building	040918-137-3721.jpg Table set for lunch in the garden	040918-137-3722.jpg Dourthe N:o 1, 100% Sauvignon Blanc	040918-137-3726.jpg Visitors having lunch in the garden

You can see how the grapes all hang low down and the leaf curtain extends about a metre up

Lots of stainless steel	040918-137-3747.jpg This is a 'bombe chapeau' (or similar expression...). It is used to break up the 'cap' of pips and skins that float to the top of the cuve. It is standing upside down

040918-137-3748.jpg A closer look. Not sure how it works but it probably sends out a burst of gas that quickly rises to the surface and breaks the 'chapeau'	040918-137-3749.jpg A barrel with Primeur wine. It probably means a preliminary cuvee mixed for the primeur tastings	040918-137-3756.jpg The very energetic Marie Hélène Inquimbert, oenolog at Dourthe who owns Chateau de Latour	040918-137-3757.jpg	040918-137-3762.jpg More wine tech. A 'turbo pigeur'. This is used to mix the must with the 'cap'. Pigeage is traditionally done by from above pushing down the cap with a "plunger". It can be done manually or by machine. This device no doub makes it much faster
