The harvest was a difficult one following record-breaking bad weather and exceptional mildew pressure. We chose to start on Monday 30 September with our caillotes at Chavignol and Verdigny.
A light ray of sunshine allows us to harvest with peace of mind. The grapes have a pleasant appearance and structure in the mouth that heralds a qualitative vintage.
After a long and delicate pressing, the first juices look interesting with a good sugar-acid balance.
Under a foggy sky and gloomy weather, the harvest occurs in the Côte des Monts Damnés. Moisture makes manual harvesting more difficult than usual.
In order to harvest in optimal conditions it is sometimes necessary to work at night.
Harvest of our Sancerre Rouge on this Monday. Despite humid and cool conditions, the health condition of the grapes was very satisfactory, foreshadowing a very good 2024 vintage.
