The weather is holding, so now it’s time to get serious. Here are a few early reports:

  1. DOMAINE LOUIS CHENU ET FILLES
    We started this morning with (Savigny-lès-Beaune 1er) Les Talmettes. We did a grapes selection, we have very few rotten grapes, but we have to check maturity. I will let you know…It is very sunny and a bit cold, perfect weather for the harvest…
  2. DOMAINE JOSEPH DROUHIN
    Today under this brilliant sunshine we pick a small parcel of (Beaune 1er) Clos des Mouches white and Chablis premier cru Secher, both have delicious, ripe grapes to eat…
    More to follow as harvest progresses!
  3. REMOISSENET PÈRE ET FILS
    “Ici la Bourgogne Libre. Le retour du grand beau temps depuis le 14 septembre a d’ores et déja sauvé le millesime 2008. Nous avons décidé ce matin de repousser encore le debut des vendanges chez Remoissenet pour ne démarrer que le 1er octobre. Les rendements vont etre très bas . Une bonne acidité notamment malique pour un millésime inedit, de belle garde, aux antipodes des vins raplaplas…” [always a lot of style from Bernard!]
