Harvest 2015: The start of the reds' harvest

It has been more than 3 weeks since our last news… There would have been so many things to say during that agitated time! But let us stick to the facts, this time they are so much more eloquent than all fine words could be…

The drought which stayed with us throughout the whites’ harvest and a few days beyond, was interrupted in mid-September to give way to a few rainy days, which we only now realise must have been advantageous. So our great hopes would falter for only one weekend, until a new spell of fine dry weather came back on September 18th, just at the time we started harvesting the Merlots. Since yesterday it has been the turn of the Cabernet Sauvignons in a general euphoria that is the sign of very great vintages.
