Guyot education

A training system named after the French scientist Dr Jules Guyot (1807-1872), also known as low trellis training. The system is used in France (especially Bordeaux and Burgundy), Italy and Spain, as well as in Germany and Austria under the name of stretching arch (one shoot to one side - picture right) or double stretching arch (two shoots to the left and right).

When pruning, the second closest fruiting cane (long shoot) to the trunk is left standing, cut to six to fifteen eyes, then bent and tied to the lowest wire. In spring, the fruiting canes that will bear the grapes that year sprout from the winter eyes of this arch. Sub-varieties are Arched Cane (Arcure), Château Thierry, Capovolto and Cazenave.

The glossary is a monumental achievement and one of the most important contributions to wine knowledge. Of all the encyclopaedias I use on the subject of wine, it is by far the most important. That was the case ten years ago and it hasn't changed since.
