French term or phrase: rechausser les vignes
En Juin, la charrue rouvre le sol et les pieds sont rechaussés. De la fin du printemps à fin juillet, on procède à trois écimages des sarments afin que l’air circule mieux.

This is after the previous paragraph:

En mai, les vignes sont déchaussées au tracteur et les pieds de souches sont nettoyés.

Which I understand is something about the base of the vines being unearthed/uncovered?
