Photographer's Note
View on the vineyards of the Coast of the wines since the upper part of the village of Brochon, to the south of the Dijon city .
Behind me one can imagine the hills and plateaus characterizing the region of Burgundy. In front of me one can see the great plain of the Saône. This plain is the lowest point of Burgundy. It starts from Dijon to the North, and ends after more than 100km (62mi) to the south (near the city of Macon). It separates the Burgundy hills to the Jura Massif in a marked way, from west to east by about 40km (25mi) .
The vineyard of Burgundy, like on the shot, clings on the last hills's slopes all along this plain (it is especially visible between Dijon and the city of Beaune, more to the south). Here although the quality of wine is of international renown, in full winter the temperatures fall by several degrees below 0°C (32°F) during about 4 months. Then how the grapevine withstands this climate?
It's explainable, because the grapevine has a vegetative rest in winter. So she will be able to withstand a temperature of about -20°C (-4°F) without damage for woods. In the beginning of the spring, during the end of its vegetative rest, she will be able hardly to withstand a temperature of -8°C (18°F). And, from the moment where has occurred the budding, a grapevine could be destroyed around -2.5°C (27.5°F) .
There is therefore during the spring a period of maximal sensitivity to the frost. However the vineyards of this region benefits from a microclimate that, due to their southeasterly exposure, favors the maximal temperatures in the spring and in summer. This particular topography also shelters it at the same time against the oceanic rains from the west and the risks of belated frosts from the east.

Bonjour Philippe,
Voici un joli paysage glacé! La composition est réussie avec les branches d'arbre qui retombent au premier plan. La perspective est aussi bien vue, avec la pente qui nous emmène directement vers le village et la lumière. Les couleurs sont douces et agréables. Une bonne prise, bien vu!

Une lumière très particulière, qui contribue largement au charme de cette photo. La perspective est également très bien gérée, et la composition a quelque chose d'intime. Pour finir, une netteté impeccable (mais avec un tel joujou, est-il possible de réaliser de mauvaises photos ?... ;-)
En un mot, WOW.....
P.S. : J'hésite terriblement depuis quelques temps, le D70 me tente mais j'ai lu certaines critiques négatives ; que pensez-vous de cet appareil, en toute objectivité ?

"La berge du couteau" Drôle de titre.
Cependant j'apprécie beaucoup cette vue viticole parfaitement cadrée.
Très bon équilibre ombres/lumières et bonne profondeur.
Ce paysage me rappelle aussi celui de Chablis.
Chez moi la bonne luminosité est présente uniquement pendant mes heures de travail.

An interesting note of wine.....
And then, the picture !
A m a z i n g, what a beauty, even in winter a vineyard is photogenic, when there is a good light. I like the combination of the "cold winter" here in the foreground against the warm light further on. The heavy tree, which is a good silhouette, is very well chosen. I like it, my friend !

Hello Philippe. A beautiful scene from the winter vineyards, with a nice perspective created as the eye follows the lines of the vines towards the village. Good inclusion of the foreground tree for the framing, and a lovely golden glow shed on the background by the sun. Very nice.

Bonjour Philippe,
Il y a un proverbe qui dit "le mieux est l'ennemi du bien" !
Cette photo est parfaite, faire mieux me semble très difficile.
Superbe composition où le regard plonge jusqu'à l'infini.
Très intéressante note d'accompagnement.
Félicitations !
Philippe

Les lignes de vignes créent une très belle profondeur et la lumière rosée qui illumine l'arrière plan est ajoute à cet effet. Le regard est vraiment aspiré par ce paysage.

Début mai, il y a toujours une période redoutable qui s'appelle les saintes glaces... Heureusement qu'il existe ce microclimat dans cette région!
Quant à la photo, les couleurs et la composition sont superbes. Bravo!

Superbe composition et lumière magique sur ces vignes. J'aime à voir la nature se reposer pour, à la bonne saison venue, nous offrir ses plus belles couleurs et...breuvages. Merci du partage Philippe.

the depth and parallel lines formed by the vineyard seems to go on for eons here. this shot stands out because you don't often see a vineyard in the winter under snow. excellent composition by including the branches from above. another good one!

Again, Well done. I like your pictures of nauture and landscape. The light in this picture is wonderful. The contrast between dark in the front and light in the back is great. Please go on with sending pictures to TE.
