I have collected some harvet impressions from Facebook and other sources .. just to get an impresion of the progress – the mood and quality.
First out a message from one of the smallest estate in Burgundy – an estate with great talet and promise – the Facebook translation is not perfect … but close enough to get the picture. Burgundy is not only fame and fortune .. its also a lot of hard work …
Some teams are much larger – here is the Roussau team at work in Clos de la Roche.
The grapes looks healthy in many cases – and in general most reports regarding quality are positive – although the quantities are low as expected.
Careful selection is however important – here is Louis-Michel Liger-Belair at the end of the sorting table ..

A comment about the harvest from Armand Heitz of Domaine Heitz-Lochardet … in French.
A here is a nice photo from Alexandrine Roy … healthy grapes picked today .. day 3 of the Domaine Marc Roy harvest.
Lastly … wine in the making – a photo from Olivier Lamy of Domaine Hubert Lamy … the great Criot-Bartard is already on it’s way from grapes to wine.
Progress report
DRC seems to have harvested Romanee-Conti and Domaine du Comte Liger-Belair is also two days into the harvest. Rousseau is also picking grapes .. so full action is expected Monday in Cote de Nuits – stay tuned.
