Marc. The progress is amazing. Your own vineyard is a huge undertaking but will be so rewarding. Yes deer can always be an issue I don’t have a vineyard but i grow roses. The deer love to move through my garden at night and eat the rosebuds and new growth. So frustrating. You and Amy are so hardworking. Love watching your videos. Deborah from North Carolina 😊😊❤
Great choice of music to accent a beautiful accomplshment! Marc, it was touching to see you pause before the significant moment of beginnng to plant. That moment showed such a sincere form of gratitude. Your family's attachment to this project has been so clear so many times. Thank you for sharing your dream with us.
🤣 “Oh dear/deer, Bambi left his footsteps around the vines.” 🤣 Marc, you are a treasure! Or at least your jokes make one groan as if weighed down with some. 😁
Great progress!!! I’m so happy that the vines did well during the heat wave!!! I hope the alternating deluge and drought will have them sending their roots deep for next year. 🤔 I wonder if grape-leaf fed deer tastes like it’s had a good marinade. I know here, back when my dad used to bow-hunt, I preferred the ones that lived by pilfering from the corn fields south and west of the city, compared to the ones we had that lived off oak forests to the north. I just realized, yours will also have been eating chestnuts. 🤤😉 (Dad hunted using a recurve bow, not the pulley-powered modern things where a child can pull 40 lbs. We didn’t get to eat venison every year.) Great digger driver! I had to chuckle at the music you chose. In the 1990’s, there was a TV commercial in Japan for Caterpillar tractors that showed a similar sized digger “dancing” to that tune in a field. 😁
I was wondering how the vines were doing. Such back breaking work! And so many regulations! Please continue to vlog about the vineyard. We are all enjoying your progress.
Heartwarming to see the care with which everyone approached the creation of the vineyard. We live in Saskatchewan, Canada where, for decades - at least - the water table has been impacted by drought. My husband and I don't farm, but we are surrounded by fields of wheat, legumes, and canola and we pay even more attention now to the weather than when we lived in more populated areas. Your vines reminded me of the saplings my husband has planted on our land in attempts to reforest some of our land. It's a sharp learning curve to know where and what to plant and how to ensure the plants are watered when needed most. It's such a humbling experience to tend to the soil and the plants. I can see you folks understand that. Wonderful to watch you create your lives together in such a beautiful (and demanding) setting. Thank you for sharing this part of you lives and work with us.
@@LostGardensofChateauRosieres Your lives are so hectic, no idea how you accomplish all and get some sleep now and again. A huge estate, your children, a ton of cute animals, and all those projects! I am in awe
Bambi won't bother your vines as much if you spray some wolf urine along the edges of your plot. In America it is also common to run heavy fishing line around a plot about a meter above the soil, doesn't need to be real tight.
If you want to keep deer away from any plants collect your egg shells, crunch them up and sprinkle them around the plant/ area the deer will stay away they hate it smells of eggs. They smell like sulfur to the deer. The egg shells will also disintegrate and add calcium. Thank you.

Bonjour bonsoir Congratulations my loves you now have a winery I enjoyed watching the preparation of the soil the propagation of the vines so interesting Mark is an up and coming wine grower I look forward to the years ahead Chateau de Roseries vintage wine enchante💖💖😍😍👌👌🍸🍸🌟
The deer are in my yard every night but have stayed out of my garden thanks to the solar powered ultrasonic deer machines I put in the 4 corners of my garden. It emits a high pitched sound that I don't hear but the deer hear it & don't like it.
Great video, Marc! So happy to see all of the progress with the vines. I can't wait to order some wine from your vineyard to be delivered here to the US, and to drink a glass.
You are so happy to get started, your smile says it all. We have several vineyards around here (Virginia) and the plants are so neat and tidy, all in the rows and well tended, so pretty.
I am soooooooo excited for you guys!!! Nothing more tantalizing than a vineyard ❤❤ Hahahah.....love the digger waltz...Mark if you had a toy like that I am sure you would become proficient at it. Such a science to growing things. When I get to France I want to come visit you guys for sure!!!! Will pray for the vines 🙏
Oh deer! I go out daily and check for hoof prints, as we have several that wander through the garden. Bambi's not so cute as he once was. This is such an exciting video, and so good to see the growth a few months later without having to wait! Good luck!
Looking great,Marc. The soil looks amazing now that it has been worked well to expose the fertile layer under the hard pack on top. The grape vines appear to love the field so far👏🏻🥰. Now let’s hope the deer leave enough of them to get good growth and root systems😮
Congratulations!! This is an encouraging start for all your dreams & hard work to plant your own vineyard! Thank you for sharing the beginnings of the vineyard. I’ll enjoy watching the progress!
Mark you could do that digger we know you could. Wear is your little jeep so you don't have to run back and forth? Wow I bet your all super tired. Wow can't believe how fast those grew. It looks great!
Marc explained this to me afterwards. It’s because there needs to be a certain amount of stress on the vines to produce sufficiently sweet grapes to make wine in this appellation.
What a great team. Sending lots of good wishes for rain and perfect conditions to get these vines established. Mark’s knowledge and expertise on all things is astounding. 👏🏻👏🏻
Félicitations à toi, Marc 🎉🎈 Did the excavator makes the lines in the soil when levelling it, or were they created by something else - it looks great! I love a freshly prepared field. It must be satisfying to know that the soil's been prepared properly. Wondering if anyone use deer fencing, in Cornas 🤔 I've just been reading about irrigation 😮😮 This is going to be really interesting to learn about, thanks Marc!
Glad you enjoyed it! Nobody seems to use deer fences around vineyards. I'm not really sure why! Maybe because they're not a major problem and the fences would cost more than the loss of a few vines and not be that effective! I think the lines were accidental by the digger!
This is so exciting!! I got my first grapes off my vines, this year!! I cant wait to see how yours thrive!!! 🥰🥰🥰🥰 Marc has such reverance for the land!!!
Thankyou for this series. I’m really enjoying the focus on the grounds and agricultural aspects. I’m also learning lots of ‘stuff’ and finding it so interesting. I had no idea of the rules and regulations you guys have to abide by. Off to binge watch the rest of this series and catch up on all your pursuits. 😊
I have been worried. I use a product here in the states called Love Your Soil, it helps keep soil from becoming compacted. Never disappoints. Jonathan Green. Gypsum derivative formulated with humates, calcium, iron, sulfur, and molasses. Wonder if you can find something similar.
Great to see this channel alive again ❤
More to come!

How wonderful to see the vines all planted and growing well!

Marc, Jason, John and Dave(?) did a really great job in the vineyard! I didn’t know that even the distance between the vines is regulated!
Your vineyard is beautiful. Very impressed with growth. Doesn’t look like any (many?) were lost!
Oh Bambi, naughty Bambi!
As a wine lover, I am really pleased to witness the creation of a vineyard. Looking forward to see the birth of the next great wine!

Vines are all looking healthy
Looking great! Will be exciting to see the vineyard tall and lush in a few years. Have I missed a palm tree update?
No that’s still in the backlog of videos to edit!!!

Great to see the start of your vineyard 😁
I loved the digger waltz. I giggled for ages
Deer! The bane of my garden! 😒
Hope the vineyard survives all of the things nature throws at it,
and gives you a great harvest in time. ❤️😊
So happy that you got your vineyard planted 🎉🎊🤩Bonne chance 😍😘
Very interesting to see grape vines being planted from the beginning.
Looks like you had some good helpers there.
Looking beautiful and hoping your hard work produces some wonderful grapes for wine production! Bravo 🍇🍇

Thanks for sharing!
We planted some grapes on our farm, just for our use. Can’t wait to see how yours turn out. Great episode!! Lots of love from Tennessee!!
So exciting. Well done to all the workers and to Marc for planning it all and taking care of it. A great achievement ❤
The deer are in my yard every night but have stayed out of my garden thanks to the solar powered ultrasonic deer machines I put in the 4 corners of my garden. It emits a high pitched sound that I don't hear but the deer hear it & don't like it.
They've grown so much already! Good job! 😄
Wow, this is impressive. I love seeing the beginning of new life in the soil.
Would a battery-operated electric fence help keep the deer out?
Good start, good to see you guys
This vineyard planting vlog will be wonderful for your descendents to watch how this empty field became their vineyard. ❤. Making memories!
Great video, Marc! So happy to see all of the progress with the vines. I can't wait to order some wine from your vineyard to be delivered here to the US, and to drink a glass.
This was great! It turned out to be a little bit before-and-after which was a good contrast to see. Thank you. Go vineyard!
You are so happy to get started, your smile says it all. We have several vineyards around here (Virginia) and the plants are so neat and tidy, all in the rows and well tended, so pretty.
“Oh deer! Bambi left his footsteps around the vine…”😂
The earth looks succulent 😊

Amazing results after all your hard work during winter and illness .🎉😊
I love Marc’s passion and knowledge! Well done all! It was actually great to see the planting and the progress update in one video!
Looking great,Marc. The soil looks amazing now that it has been worked well to expose the fertile layer under the hard pack on top. The grape vines appear to love the field so far👏🏻🥰. Now let’s hope the deer leave enough of them to get good growth and root systems😮
Excited to see the progress you guys have made!
Wonderful to see you and your progress. Well done!
Fascinating! Good luck with your vineyard! 🥰
I feel I’ve waited forever to see this programme. It’s great and well worth the wait. Good lick with your vigneron life.
Great video. Super digger driver. Best of luck with your vineyard.
Congratulations! It’s the same way you plant bear root roses. I once saw a vineyard which had a rose planted at the end of each row.😊
Cheers to your research and hard work ! Looking forward to your progress and success !
Great.
Congratulations!! This is an encouraging start for all your dreams & hard work to plant your own vineyard!
Thank you for sharing the beginnings of the vineyard. I’ll enjoy watching the progress!
Wow, that was a quick growth - I wish you luck with this Vineyard !
Welcome back! Great video with interesting content. Looking forward to others
💞💞💞💞💞💞💞
The vines are beautiful! Fine work, guys!
So glad to get an update, I wondered what happened!
Wonderful that you had help and marc you look like a kid on christmas lol so happy 😅😊😊❤
Oh deer 😂😂😂 hoping your hard work will pay off 🤞🤞🤞💪💪💪 it's great to see more of you again 😉👍
I LOVE IT MARC! A BEGINNING TO A NEW REGIONAL WINE. 4 -5 YEARS? VERY EXCITING ❤
A new vineyard. And I was able to watch it from the beginning. Looking forward to seeing the progress 😊
Mark you could do that digger we know you could. Wear is your little jeep so you don't have to run back and forth? Wow I bet your all super tired. Wow can't believe how fast those grew. It looks great!
Cheers ❤❤❤❤
Looking forward to see your vines growing strong!
The plants look great! 🍇😊
This was fascinating learning about planting and seeing them grow, Thank you for sharing, Great job !
How rewarding to see all those new green leaves growing, wonderful nature!
So glad to see your progress, it is going to be wonderful.
Question: I can understand why there would be a minimum distance between plants, but what is the reason for setting a maximum distance?
Marc explained this to me afterwards. It’s because there needs to be a certain amount of stress on the vines to produce sufficiently sweet grapes to make wine in this appellation.
This is so Amazing Marc having your own vineyard that’s magical
BEST WISHES TO YOU
So interesting. Thank you.
Woohoo!!! 🎉🎉🎉 How exciting!

Great to hear!
Hello lovelies x
I just realised how far the vineyard is from Rosieres. If it takes a car over 1 hour, then a tractor is driving more than 3 hours I guess?
Yep! That’s why it’s not really viable to use our own tractor. In fact I think it would be more like three hours each way!
🌿🍇👌👍💜

Dont drop those plum stones into that lovely soft soil. They sprout easily and are so difficult to get out again!
