It is hard to imagine today the level of disorganization that must have prevailed at the time during the harvest due to the outbreak of war: no more men, no more horses etc. To make matters even more difficult, the crop was huge. The wines were generally quite good, but they developed quickly and have, of course, completely declined by now.
Climate
In August, everybody expected the men to be back for the harvest... They only came back four years later, at least those who were lucky enough to escape with their lives during the terrible war that broke out in August ! (The picking began 15th September)
