Of course, the regular rains of this last autumn and winter allowed the re-establishment of the water table in the soil and sub soil. Therefore we hope that the vines will have enough of a reserve on which to draw during the heat wave period of our region.

A cold spring and beginning of summer – flower abortion of Grenache The entire spring season was cold and windy (strong Mistral). The vines grew until the weather warmed up – around the beginning of June. About the 8th of June we noted the beginning of the Ideal Grenache flowering flowering.

Physically it means that we will have a reduced harvest with less Grenache grapes to be harves- ted. In certain zones of our wine classification, there will be no Grenache grapes. Certain wine maker friends feel that they will not harvest certain parcels of vines this year. The quality of what will remain of the grapes will however be preserved. Regarding the Mourvèdre and Syrah grapes, the flowering went well. They are vine varieties which are less sensitive to flower abortion. The harvest will be lovely.
