Welcome to VX Our wines are labelled "Vercingetorix" or "VX" for short. Vercingetorix's father brought his Celtic clan into Burgundy, the home of Pinot Noir, around 100 B.C. Vercingetorix became chieftain under the threat of Roman invasion. Vercingetorix united the clan against Caesar and the superior force of the Romans. Vercingetorix adopted a scorched earth policy sparing only the precious vineyards and his clan's most important settlement, Averticum. Vercingetorix is honored by the local Burgundians to this day for his efforts on behalf of the noble Pinot Noir grape.

The cool and late summer of 2007 resulted in our harvests being at least 2 weeks later than usual. Then came a very rainy October. But, in one four-day window of dryer weather, we were able to rush out and gather in all of our grapes* We then had to watch the hazelnut crop get rained on day after day. Finally we are taking advantage of the sunny break this week to work almost round the clock to harvest, a work in progress as this is being written.
