Of-course, September is harvest time. This was my 11th consecutive harvest, and accounted for 11 days devoted only to the best possible sorting of the ‘home domaine’s’ grapes. I expect that many of you may have kept up with my harvest diary. There is a wealth of observation there, also from Mark’s Morey harvest diary, but I’m pretty sure there’s lots more that you want to know!

The 2014 Vintage:

And: waste not, want not…

Given that in September 2014 the vigneron(ne)s were harvesting and starting to make wine; pressing, filling tanks, emptying tanks, digging-out then pressing again, they had limited time for visits by time-wasters such as I. So, I chose not to burden and annoy them with my dubious presence, rather I looked for a number of other people to annoy:

Gardens
The Léproserie
The ‘Old Cuverie‘

A Tasting:
16 bottles of 2012 Corton-Charlemagne, opened on your behalf and tested with a few friends!
