Q

What is encépagement?

A

Once appropriate soils are identified, an overall encépagement of mixed grapes that flower and are harvested at different times gives the estate a form of insurance. Cabernet Sauvignon, for instance, may avoid late spring frosts that can spell disaster for Merlot as it buds later, but the grape may fall prey to heavy fall rains after the Merlot is safely harvested.
