Verzenay Vineyard
The Champagne province in France is located near the northern limits of the wine world along the 49th parallel. The high latitude and cool temperature creates a difficult environment for wine grapes to fully ripen. The acidity in the soil makes it ideal for sparkling wine. Ancient oceans left behind chalk subsoil deposits, which absorb heat from the sun and gradually release it during the night, giving the wine its character. This windmill in Verzanay, near Reims, is popular with photogrsphers. So the winemaker put up a fence. I had to shoot the pic from another vineyard,
