Whilst in ‘relatively’ warm Beaujolais this week, I’ve watched all the pictures of ‘candles’ and water-sprays to combat the frost in Chablis, but this morning it seems the Côte d’Or has been touched – and it seems to have been more severe than a ‘touch.’

“I think I lost 90% in the villages and regional appellations. For the 1er crus in the order of 40 to 60%…”

I’ll be in Côte d’Or vines in both côtes over the next two days looking at the potential damage. I’ll keep you posted…

Checking frost damage from last night:
Our Chablis Grand Cru Ok
Our Chablis Ier Cru Ok at 85… https://t.co/7jMYUYdHap

Last night many of our parcels have been touched by the #frost. Too early to assess the damages but probably more than 50%. #Burgundy
