Back 17

In Alsace, two training systems are allowed, simple and double Guyot. Double Guyot, the preferred method, means that two ∩-shaped branches (baguettes) carry the fruit-bearing shoots. The shoots are tied to horizontal steel wires (accolage), and receive extra support in early July when nylon string is added. Hence, a row of Alsace vines has the shape of a hedge, up to 200 cm high.

In Alsace, the following limitations apply for training (pallisage) and pruning (taillage):
