July has been extremely hot, August cool and rainy, and we thought both months would compensate to allow us to harvest around September 23rd. Actually, the humidity contained in the soil combined with the nice weather we enjoyed early September, favoured the maturity.We will begin harvesting next week, probably on Wednesday 20th. In Chablis, the ripening process has been fairly quick and we have already started picking in some early vineyards of low charge. To our knowledge, it is the first time that harvesting in our Chablis vineyards begins before in Côte d’Or. The main start will be on September 18th.
