Orchard at Domaine du Manoir de Montreuil

30 hectares of orchards
Standard size trees
The orchard management is to prunes the apples trees every three years.
The orchards itself has 50 different varieties
As required by the appellation of Pays d'Auge Patrice needs to have a map of the apple varieties in the orchard
Patrice does not use any pesticides on his orchards.

Orchard management tip:

When Patrice notices insects on the trees, he lets the cows in the orchard to graze and they will scratch their bodies on the trees and in turn knock off the insects.

While standing in the oak barrel room I asked 'What is the minimum time that the barrels stay empty" The reply is that "There is no reason to keep the barrels empty" :)
