Good and bad news regarding the 2015 harvest … more reports of fine quality in Cote de Beane … but really sad news from Chablis after a terrible hail strom.
Whites in the making …
Terrible hail storm i Chablis …
Some vineyards in Chablis were very badly damaged by a very powerful hail storm.
Things were looking great and then again the hail monster showed its ugly face … really feel sorry for the vignerons in the northern part of Burgundy.
As it can be seen from the photo above … the damage is very dramatic in some places.
Harvest “forecast” for Cote de Nuits
The producers in Cote de Nuits are still waiting for the right moment to pick the grapes.
Laurent Gotti has done a bit of field work research on the start date for some of the more prominent estates … see below.
Looks like a busy week … good luck … and no more hail storms please!
