The care of the old stumps is proverbial, they are ploughed only with the help of a horse, they are not "trimmed" in the summer but the result in the quality of the fruit is stunning.

He plows the vineyard with the...
Travelling to Philippe Desbos' stone-built farm to the north of the village of Saint-Jean-de-Muzols, traditionally one of the best terroirs of the Saint-Joseph appellation of origin, is like taking a trip through time.
