The harvest 2018 has begun – and while it’s mainly the whites that are being brought in .. it’s what one would call an early harvest.
White Corton (not Corton Charlie) from Chandon de Briailles was havested on tuesday 21st of August .. early .. although perhaps not unusually early.
Even before this (Monday September 20st) the Puligny Referts was picked as one of the first wines of the vintage … chez Domaine Arnaud Ente.
There is quite some difference in the maturity reported .. so I would expect to see quite some variation in havest dates.
Just spoke to Pierre Duroché who reported that they will start on September 3rd 2018 – for the reds.
